UNESCO Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Revitalizes Rural Wakayama

SHINGU, JAPAN - JUNE 19: A pilgrim bows in reverence before the massive trunk of the ancient, sacred Nagi tree (Podocarpus nagi) wrapped with a shimenawa rope within the grounds of Kumano Hayatama Taisha in Shingu, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, on June 19, 2026. Believed to be over 800 years old and designated as a National Natural Monument, this historic tree symbolizes safe travel and marital harmony, making its sanctuary enclosure a foundational focal point for spiritual pilgrims navigating the UNESCO World Heritage-listed trail network of the Kii Peninsula.
