Nachi Falls is very beautiful, and the drive from Osaka to the various attractions is also very scenic. At the end of a tiring day, there are also hot springs where you can soak your feet and relax. I recommend this itinerary.

Magnificent tour on the Kumano Kodo trails, including a visit to a beautiful shrine and marveling at the majestic Nachi Falls. Kyo, our driver, was really friendly and professional. It was perfect, despite the rather long distance to travel. Thank you to Kyo for everything.

I've wanted to see the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Routes for so long, but it was always too far away. I finally had the chance to visit this time, and it's so beautiful, every photo I took came out great. I'm also grateful to our guide, Hanazawa, for driving us around all day!

The driver Hanazawa was very kind, helpful and friendly and on time, thank you, the tour was amazing, even if it was light rain, it still was amazing, the places, you need to try it so you understand it, everything was amazing, next time when I'll come to Japan, I'll definitely have a look see what other tours they managed to add, but for sure this one was worth it, beautiful memories, これは本当にすごい 🙇🏻‍♂️

A bit of a hike but with awesome rewards. In the 3h i even managed to go up the pilgrimage route behind the temple where it was quiet and just magical - probably one of my favorites so definitely recommend!

While the drive is a bit long, there are one or two rest stops along the way. The tour guide is attentive and friendly, providing detailed explanations of the pilgrimage route. Highly recommended. Note that the route is mostly stairs, so be prepared.

It was very good. Since it's a self-guided tour, there isn't a guide walking with you, but I received an easy-to-understand map. It rained a little once, but I think this weather and time of year was a good time to go. The places I visited were also great. Wonderful. Highly recommended.
