• Wrapping up the Komano Kodo

    April 11 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Left our amazing hotel and took a bus to Shingo to visit the Hayatama Grand Shrine. Not a lot of kms but a lot of steep stairs. Then we took a train and a bus to get to Nachi to see yet another shrine and a waterfall.
    So many steep and rocky stairs. 75 degrees today. We missed the rain.
    The water fall dropped 400 ft and was really flowing as a result of the rain. The shrine was impressive too. We also visited a4 store pagoda (3 here, they don't count the bottom floor). It was full of interesting artwork.
    Back to our last KK hotel. Another beautiful place right on the ocean. No private Onsen.
    Lots of snacks and food and An amazing buffet. I hate buffets, I eat too much and I did.
    Tomorrow we stay in another hotel here in Kii Katsuura.
