Hongu Road (Kumano Kodo Iseji Route)
The Hongu Road splits off from Hananoiwaya-jinjaShrine at Hananokura Shrine in Arima KumanoCity, and heads through the mountains towards Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine. It passes through deep mountains, crosses Sanwa Ohashi Bridge over the Kumano River and connects to Shiko (Wakayama Prefecture) on the opposite bank. Most of the course is prefectural roads and forest roads, but there are many historical sites such as Jizo statues along the road, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kumano, including the tranquil rural mountains. ○ Course highlights: MaruyamaSenmaida- Yoji Yakushido - Okawachi road sign...
