What kind of place is Yoshino-Kumano National Park?
Yoshino-Kumano National Park occupies a large area in southern Mie Prefecture. A mountain range runs from the north to the southwest, with the Kitayama River and Kumano River in the south, and the Kumano Sea in the east. It is an area where you can enjoy a rich variety of nature and scenery.
Osugidani, located in the northern mountainous area, is considered one of Japan's three major canyons and is also registered as a UNESCO Eco Park. In addition, the Kumano Kodo ``Iseji'' within the park is one of the world's most famous ``roads'' and is a World Heritage Site. Among them, the Kumano River in the south is known as the ``river pilgrimage route.'' We recommend ways to enjoy this area that remind you of the travelers who once traveled this path.
Doro-kyoGorge, which has huge rocks, strangely shaped rocks, and cliffs, is also a popular kachiji and activity spot. Furthermore, the Kumano Sea coastline is also not to be missed. In addition to Tategasaki, which has a towering cliff, Shichirimihama Beach, which stretches far and wide, is full of photogenic spots. It is an area where you can not only enjoy the scenery created by nature, but also the history surrounding it.
This place, where deep nature and history are intertwined, has a charm that makes you want to visit again and again.
