Magose pass

I went to Owase, in order to walk along the Kumano-kodo.

Kumano-kodo is a pilgrimage road to the three grand shrines of kumano.
(i.e. Kumano is a place name(熊野), and kodo means old roads.)



Two years ago, I went to Nachi.
& I saw a Kumano Nachi Taisha (one of the grand shrines of kumano / 熊野那智大社),
and Nachi no Taki(Nachi Falls / 那智滝).

So, I went to Magose pass(one of the route of Kumano-kodo) this time.




That place was very quiet and peaceful.



What I could hear was only the sound of the flowing water.



The road is a stone pavement.
I had the wonderful feeling as if I walked along the rock garden.




How many trees are there?
There were a lot of hinokis.







And I climbed Mt. Tengura


At the top of the mountain, there is a large rock.



reached the top of rock....


nice view





And I could see a falls, plants, and flowers.






I was able to enjoy nature fully.
