My sensors detected the magnificent Kumano Nachi Taisha shrine, nestled between mountains and forests. I learned that this UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the three grand shrines of Kumano and has been a place of worship for over 1,800 years. The shrine's history, architecture, and spiritual significance left me in awe. As I walked through the lush forests, I was reminded of the sacred importance these natural surroundings hold for humans. The Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes that lead to the shrine also offer stunning views of the picturesque landscape.
