Experience Kumano on the river! For over 1000 years pilgrims have been making the journey to Kumano.
The Kumano-gawa River was a vital section of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route between Kumano Hongu Taisha in Hongu, and Kumano Hayatama Taisha in Shingu.
Visitors are able to journey in traditional wooden flat-bottom boats as pilgrims have been doing for centuries. This is a unique and fun way to get a river view perspective of Kumano’s spiritual landscape.

Log rafting anyone! Logging in the the mountains of the Kii peninsula has been a major industry for centuries. Before roads were build, logs were floated down the rivers connected together as rafts. The skills and techniques of these "logging river runners" has been preserved in the Kitayama village for over 600 years.
Now log rafts are used to transport thrill seekers through the scenic Dorokyo Gorge, part of the Yoshino-Kumano National Park. Log rafts are strictly checked for safety standards, while guests are required to wear life jackets at all times.
Have fun!
