Description
Experience the spirit of Wakayama on a private tour. Walk the Kumano Kodo trail, visit temples and shrines, join rituals, craft an amulet, and enjoy a local farmhouse bento lunch.
Begin your journey with a hotel pickup from Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, or Nara. Trade crowded buses for quiet cedar trails, ancient craft workshops, and a genuine exchange with people who keep centuries-old customs alive.
Follow a peaceful 2-kilometer segment of the UNESCO-listed Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail. Listen to stories of ascetics and emperors who once trekked the same forest paths.
Step into a family-run washi paper studio. Guided by a master artisan, design and craft a unique “O-Mamori” charm you’ll take home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir.
Meet a resident monk inside a working mountain temple rarely open to outsiders. Over matcha and seasonal sweets, hear candid reflections on daily monastic life and centuries of tradition.
Join a Shinto caretaker at a secluded shrine hidden in the hills. Learn the meaning of a simple purification rite, cleanse your hands in a mountain spring, and receive a blessed charm for safe travels.
Enjoy a handmade bento featuring locally grown vegetables and mountain delicacies, shared in a rustic setting overlooking rice terraces.
