The Ise-ji route connects the Ise Jingu shrine and the sacred sites of the Kumano Sanzan mountains. As you encounter fishing villages by the sea along the way, you will be touched by their way of life, and as you surrender yourself to the varied landscapes of Umaokoshi Pass and Matsumoto Pass, you will witness a mysterious and robust landscape that will leave you more impressed than tired.

In fact, the difficulty level of the Ise Road is not high, so everyone from beginners to experts can experience its charms. You can walk through sacred spots while listening to the heartbeat of deep forests that have been weaving for a long time.

The longest stretch of cobbled beauty on the path is another attraction that brings the ancient pilgrimage to sacred places close to home.
