Travel Suggestions
Two Stay Styles to Match Your Kumano Kodo Journey
The way a Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route journey is planned can change depending on where the night before walking is spent and where rest is taken afterward. Kamenoi Hotel Kii Tanabe serves as a convenient seaside base, whether staying the night before heading to Kumano from the Osaka area or staying after visiting the Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine area.
Arriving from the Osaka Area and Preparing with
a Stay Before the Journey to Kumano
This plan begins with arrival in Kii Tanabe from the Osaka area, followed by rest with hot springs and dinner before heading to the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes the next morning. Instead of ending the travel day in a rush, the schedule allows time to rest well and prepare for the walk on the following day.
Relaxing with a Stay After Visiting
the Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine Area
This plan includes staying in Kii Tanabe after visiting Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine and the Nachi Mountain area, allowing the body to rest with hot springs and a meal.
