UNESCO Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Revitalizes Rural Wakayama

NACHIKATSUURA, JAPAN - JUNE 19: Spiritual pilgrims and outdoor tourists gather in the central stone courtyard outside the main worship pavilion of Kumano Nachi Taisha Grand Shrine in Nachikatsuura, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, on June 19, 2026. A wide-angle perspective captures visitors standing by a covered incense burner on the left while others approach the brilliant vermilion-red Shinto sanctuary complex, which features traditional multi-tiered gabled roofs and intricate gold ornamentation nestled against the densely forested mountain backdrop of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kii Mountain Range pilgrimage network.
