To visit Kumano Nachi Taisha and Nachi Falls, you need to walk up a steep staircase, so you need to be physically fit.
Daimonzaka Parking Lot is free and quite far away, but there is a route that passes through the famous Kumano Kodo Daimonzaka on the way, so many people park here while hiking.
Kumano Kotsu Nachisan Tourist Center Parking is 800 yen, and although Kumano Nachi Taisha is close, you have to walk quite a bit to get to Nachi Falls.
Kumano Nachi Taisha is one of the World Heritage "Kumano Sanzan". It is a shrine that enshrines Nachi Falls, the largest waterfall in Japan, and is attractive for its vermilion-painted shrine building and the spectacular view of the waterfall. It is said to bring good luck in finding love and fulfilling wishes.
There is a large camphor tree that is about 850 years old on the grounds, and you can experience "passing through the womb" by passing through the hollow in the trunk. Additionally, the Nachi Ogi Festival, held every July, is known as one of Japan's three major fire festivals and is extremely impressive.
