Kumano

About Kumano

Kumano, a charming city in Japan, is a must-visit destination that will leave you enchanted. The standout attraction is the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that winds its way through lush forests and rural villages, offering breathtaking scenery and spiritual experiences. One unique thing that travellers love about Kumano is the opportunity to immerse themselves in traditional Japanese culture, from ancient temples to local cuisine, at the Kumano Hongu Taisha shrine.

The best time to visit Kumano is during the spring (March to May) when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, or autumn (September to November) when the autumn foliage is at its peak. For first-timers, it's essential to rent a portable Wi-Fi hotspot to navigate the city's rural areas and communicate with local guides, as internet access can be limited in some areas.
