Kumano Kodo was registered as a World Heritage Site in 2004. A warm ocean current brings as much as around 5 m. of annual precipitation to the mountainous area of the Kii Peninsula and creates the wettest, densest forest in the subtropics. There are temples and shrines here and there along forest routes where you can feel the beautiful tranquility and solace of the harmony between nature and culture.

Kumano Sanzan is a collection of locations revered as places inhabited by the deities of the 3 main Kumano shrines of Kumano Hongu Taisha, Kumano Hayatama Taisha, and Kumano Nachi Taisha, as well as other locations that include the temple of Seiganto-ji. These deities are a syncretization of Buddhist and Shinto gods that accept everyone, both male and female, regardless of status or class. The sacred ground is a place for prayers of reawakening that has been sustained by the strong faith of people since long ago.

At the start of the 9th century, Kongobu-ji Temple was established by Kukai, the most famous monk in Japan. Since an entire mountain can be considered a temple, Mt. Koya where Kongobu-ji Temple is located can itself be considered a temple. Various Buddhist temples have been built, and even today there are many monks who carry out ascetic practices.
