Kumano Kodo Walk, Daimon-zaka to Nachi Falls (Kumano Nachi Taisha and Seiganto-ji Temple)

The Daimon-zaka slope is an ancient stone staircase lined with centuries-old trees, leading from the valley bottom to the base of the Kumano Nachi Taisha shrine complex.  

This walk climbs these worn cobblestone stairs, and visits the Kumano Nachi Taisha, Seiganto-ji temple, and Nachi Falls, the tallest in Japan at 133 meters high.
