Mie Kumano Kodo Mihama
A BASE to Deeply Relax on a Mountain Path With a Sense of History
The Kumano Kodo is one of the few World Heritage roads. The moss-covered mountain path feels like it has endured a long history. At the foot of the Fuden-Toge Pass, massive early morning fog envelops the mountain from autumn to spring, creating a breathtaking scene. It's a place where you can feel the long history of nature and people, and your soul can deeply relax.

Kumano Sanzan Kumano Hongu Taisya
Mie Kumano Kodo Mihama
A BASE to Bathe in the Majestic Air Continuing Since Ancient Times
Located deep in the mountains stands the Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine. Kumano is a sacred place with a long history of strong faith since ancient times, with the saying, "Go to Ise seven times, go to Kumano three times." As soon as you enter the grounds here, the sacred air feels otherworldly. You will surely feel overwhelmed by the inner shrine's cypress bark-roofed buildings all lined up!

Kawayu Onsen
Mie Kumano Kodo Mihama
A BASE to Soak Up to Your Shoulders in a Hot Spring River and Feel Like in a Dream
Located on a tributary of the Kumano River, this is a rare hot spring in Japan where you can dig your own open-air bath on the riverbank. Enjoy playing in the river in summer, and in the winter, the entire river becomes a hot spring, making the "Sennin-buro River Bath!" It's a dreamy place where you can relax body and soul.

Kumano Kodo Matsumoto-Toge Pass
Mie Kumano Kodo Mihama
A BASE for a Luxurious Solo Nature Walk
I walked the Kumano Kodo (Matsumoto-Toge Pass) for about an hour and did not encounter anyone. This is the perfect spot for those who want to enjoy nature alone. The beautiful fresh green colors, the chirping of birds, and the sound of leaves rustling in the wind are refreshing.

Shichiri Mihama Beach
Mie Kumano Kodo Mihama
A BASE to Entrust Your Heart to the Sounds of the Sea
The Shichiri Mihama Beach is the longest gravel beach in Japan. Watching the endless shore makes you lose track of time. Since this beach is made of gravel, you can hear the pebbles roll with the sound of the waves. How about spending some idle time listening to the sound changing with each wave rolling in?

Michi-no-Eki Shichiri-Mihama (Coffee Shop Noel)
Mie Kumano Kodo Mihama
A BASE Where Locals Can Relax and Feel at Home
I enjoyed a Napolitan spaghetti (Japanese-style spaghetti with ketchup-based sauce), ham egg sandwich, and coffee. The large portions fill you up. It's a cozy coffee shop that serves as a local gathering place, perfect for a lunch break. The owner has been running the shop for over 30 years, adding a sense of history.
