Departing from Wakayama
Kumano Kodō
- Daimon-zaka is an impressive cobblestone staircase slope which runs from the base of the valley to Kumano Nachi Taisha, Seiganto-ji Temple and Nachi waterfall. It is lined with centuries-old Japanese cedars (cryptomeria), cypress, camphor trees and bamboo groves. Daimon-zaka means “large gate slope” referring to a gate that once stood nearby. This is an excellent short walk on the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route
- The actual stone staircase is about 600 meters long with 267 stairs. At the base of the slope is the impressive Meitosugi – “husband and wife cedar trees,” whose roots are entwined beneath the path
- At the top of Daimon-zaka, you can continue upstairs another 20 minutes to the shrine complex area and visit Kumano Nachi Taisha, Seiganto-Ji Temple. It is probably best to climb the stairs to the shrine grounds first and then walk down beside the pagoda to the falls
- Walking Hashinnmon Oji - Mizunomi Oji - Fushiogami Oji ~ Sangenchayayaseki - Haraido Oji - Hongu Taisha ~ From Hongu Taisha to Yunomine Onsen
