The “Kumano Kodo Ocean Trail Pilgrimage Sea Kayaking Experience” is a unique adventure which retraces the waterway route that pilgrims took through this bay when walking the Kumano Kodo Iseji route from Ise Jingu to the Kumano Sanzan shrines during medieval times.

On arrival in the village of Sone, a private BBQ lunch of fresh seafood and other local produce takes place on a floating clubhouse where local people often meet to socialize and enjoy good food and drinks together.

After the BBQ lunch there is a short walking tour of a historic shrine with massive old-growth trees.

This is a fun way to incorporate some modern sea kayaking with the history and atmosphere of the Kumano Kodo Iseji route in a dramatic natural setting.  

Set Tour dates are once a month from the beginning of July to the end of October.  For groups of 4 or more, trips are available on other dates.  For these private, custom tours, please apply at least one month in advance.  For more information about private tours, please indicate your requests in the Note section below.

NOTE: For experienced paddlers only.  Must be able to steer kayak and paddle ~6 km.
