Magose-togePass Course Walking Experience
Kumano Kodo/Iseji has 17 courses in total.
One of these days, I walked the popular Magose-togePass course!

I love traveling, but I have never walked the Kumano Kodo. I went to Magose-togePass Pass on Kumano Kodo to experience what a world heritage site is like!

It's close to the entrance of Magose-togePass at 600m.

It's right near the Washige bus stop.

There is such a beautiful stone pavement right from the entrance.

Stones were piled up like a cairn.

It is said that it was given this name because the local people prayed to stop crying at night.

After enjoying the view of OwaseCity, take a break on a wooden bench.

"At night there is sound above the flowers, mountain water"
The phrase is written.

Along the way, there is a tree that grows as if lying on a rock!

The mysterious size makes you wonder why it's on the top of the mountain.

It's quite thrilling because it's quite high!

Enjoy a 360 degree panoramic view from the mountains to the blue ocean.

The contrast between the sea and the city was very beautiful.

The seasonal mountain peach juice also looks delicious.

The two large camphor trees, which are kounogi trees, are surprisingly over 9 meters long!

it was fun!

Magose-togePass, which is said to be the ``most beautiful stone pavement'' on the Iseji Route, has a Kumano Kodo style feel, and the beautiful cypress forest smells of greenery, which was very soothing.
At first, I found the cobblestone path difficult to walk, but after walking for a while, I quickly got used to it, and I think it's a relatively easy course even for beginner mountain hikers.
This time I went up to Mt. Tengukurayama, but the climb to the top was steep and difficult.
However, the view from the top of the mountain is spectacular and your fatigue will be blown away!
This is a spot you should definitely visit if you have the energy.
There are many other courses besides Magose-togePass, so I wanted to try walking on the other courses as well.
