High up on Mt. Nachi, Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine is a vibrant mix of Shinto and Buddhist buildings that enshrine the 12 deities of Kumano and the deity of Nachi Falls. Pilgrims trekking the historic Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Route often make this their ultimate destination. Don't miss the majestic Nachi Falls and the 850-year-old sacred camphor tree on the shrine grounds. Plus, you can rent Heian-period costumes to climb the ancient stone staircase in style!
