A Stone-paved Pilgrim Route with a Rich History

The Daimonzaka slope is a 600-meter long cobblestone staircase slope that passes through the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Route, one of Japan’s Three Oldest Pilgrim Roads, and to the sacred Mount Nachi. The Daimonzaka still reflects the beauty of the prosperous times of the Kumano Worship.
