This is one of the must visit place in Japan. The view and the surrounding nature was awesome. The torii and the pagoda are in different places. For torii you have to go down the stairs from the parking area. And for the pagoda there is 15min hike through the stairs. But the view is really worth the hike.

Beautiful sacred place to visit in Japan. This is one of the places made you feel like it captures the spirits of Japan, keeping the tradition inseparable from nature. The lush green of the trees around already won my heart, not to mention the majestic shot of waterfalls like arrows. It can't help reminding me of the dragon gate. Further as I learned about the myth of Jimmu and the dragon statues providing the waters, I felt a deeper connection with this place. In any event, come to find your personal connection to this heritage!

It’s one of most scenic landmarks or sacred ground in Japan. Its verdure will definitely blow someone’s mind. Natures serenity gives you complete immovability. The waterfall itself so pulchritudinous that you reluctant to leave. Note: pagoda and falls are not in same place, therefore you have to go little uphill. I went there by car but majority goes by foot. Transportation: Easy accessible by both private or public transport. Parking & bus stoppages both are within 100m. Nachifall Entry:¥300 Parking: ¥500~¥1000

Beautiful waterfall only a short walk from the parking lot. Huge mature trees along the path. Another walking route from the parking lot takes you uphill to the pagoda around a small area with a few shops and cafe with views of the waterfall.

Nice waterfall. Need to pay 300¥ If u want to get closer. And 200¥ for a plate to drink dragon water if u want to live longer. (so they say).

Amazing waterfall 133 metres tall! Beautiful forest surrounding. Can buy souvenirs & small amount of food.

Japan tallest waterfall and part of the sacred sites and world heritage site in Nachi.

Walked on KK trail arriving at 2.00. It was Saturday so busy with local and foreigners alike. Amazing Shinto and Buddhist temple. I just loved the wooden structure of the temple. It's a large site on side of mountain so lots of stairs. The 3 tiered pagoda has only recently been opened again after being repainted. Be aware buses are packed. I managed to get on my bus while queuing but many many left behind and have to wait another hr. Down hill stops noon picked up. Waterfall beautiful.

Beautiful shrine. Amazing view. There are 3 levels to it: the grand shrine, the pagoda and the torii in front of the waterfall. Goshuin: 500¥

Japan's highest waterfall. If you're in the area, it's a must see. Worth a small detour as well, since there is not just the waterfall, but a very beautiful temple and gardens as well. A lot of things to discover, half day trip!

Beautiful temple and waterfall. Can also hike along the Kumano-kodo to another temple 1 hours walk from the main temple really worth it. About 40mins on the way back.

This shrine is one of the Kumano Sanzan and famous for its location with the Nachi Waterfall. The shrine is quite normal but like the main shrine, you will need to walk many steps to reach its level (esp. from Waterfall level). You can just spend time on the pagoda and waterfall instead of here which are more scenic.

Part of the world heritage shrine around Naichi. It's nestled high up in the mountains together with the pagodas with the falls

Beautiful temple. You must go through the Camphor holy tree. Kumano Nachi Taisha is a Shinto shrine and part of the UNESCO-designated World Heritage Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range of Japan

A lots of uneven stair to climb. Anyone who collecting the stamp. It located before the stair

The name of the shrine is very thought-provoking about the ancient Japanese language.

Def worth visiting and I almost missed it. The high priest spoke to me in good English and even gave me a gift. He brought be to inside shrine and played a song with flute called "Kamano Kodo". Such a beautiful performance and memorable experience for me. I'm also doing the whole trek by the same name. Highly recommend a visit to this quiet shrine.

Goshuin (red vermillion stamps) are available until roughly 5PM. The shrine staff are incredibly kind and welcoming—definitely worth a visit!!

Very nice and well maintained shrine. Also world heritage class. Head priest is very friendly and speaks English.

Good shrine. Main diety is 事解男命 the Kumano god of learning and severing bad ties

It was good site to visit.

Felt there was nothing extremely special about the Taisha. Conveniently beside another attraction, the shopping alley. But worth skipping even if you are passing by via car.

One of the Kumano Sanzan (3 Grand Shrines of Kumano), it is the smallest but yet most accessible which is near to a railway station. The shrine is quite quiet on weekdays, and it does not have much to see other than the building itself. Would be a good start for the 3 Shrines Journey

Free parking is available and part of the world heritage shrine. Could be a little bit touristy when the tour bus arrive.

Lovely Shinto shrine. Small location. Popular but not crazy. Nice atmosphere. Well maintained.

A beautiful shrine breathed at the foot of the mountains. Definitely worth the visit if you're in Shingu!

Great place. If you take the walk, be prepared for a slightly higher difficulty. The nature stones are really slippery in rain, but you can easily get close via bus. Main problem might be fog. I recommend the pagoda for a great photo of the waterfall

Their bells make heavenly comfortable sounds!

This ancient shrine is located halfway up Mt. Gongen, where the gods are said to have first descended to earth. It is at the top of a very steep cliff, called Amanoiwa-tate, on the Kumano Pilgrimage route, and is reached by climbing 538 very steep stone steps with no hand rails. At the top of these steps is a large, sacred rock called Gotobiki-iwa, which is revered as the dwelling place of one of the shrine's deities. The shrine has the best view of the entire Shingu area, as well as of the Kumano Sea, and is also the site of the Oto Matsuri Festival 🔥, which is held on February 6 every year. In the darkness, men holding lit torches run down the steep stone steps of Mt. Gongen! Free parking is available. No goshuin stamp is offered at this site. You can only get the goshuin stamp at the main shrine at Kumano Hayatama Taisha.

I walked to shrine. Up steep climb of around 400 steps. Lovely little shrine set into rock. Great views over Shingu. I was only foreigner. Worth the climb. I don't think I'm wrong it's UNESCO recognised. Easy walk from town. Places to stop eat drink along the way.

Locate at middle of a mountain, you will need to walk 500+ steps before arriving at the shrine. The steps are very steep so going down is quite troublesome, you should only go when there is no rain and when the ground is dry. But the view of Shingu from the shrine is very nice and spectacular.

The Kamikura Shrine is where a very big stone located. I don’t think the stone itself is particularly noteworthy (albeit it being very big), but the walk up is notoriously difficult and memorable. Half way to the shrine the walk is very steep to the point that it felt like rock climbing, and it’s very tiring. (The locals would say,”it’s tough to the point you feel like dying!”). Yet it’s this walk that I think made the trip memorable. As we went down also because of the steepness I had a sense of vertigo, and was scared, but after overcoming it I felt like I learned something. No wonder it’s part of the ancient Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage route. The other halft after the steep part is relatively easy, and pleasant. It’s also nice that once from the top we can see the sea and have a good view of Shingu, the city it’s in.

Very steep steps are leading to the shrine where the old gods of Kumano once descended. I was gratefully bowing to the tori gate when I was back down in one piece.

Steep steps of irregular rocks uphill. Went on a morning after rain. Not particularly challenging (especially after hiking the Kumano Kodo) but had to be really careful as the algae may cause the rocks to be slippery. The view on top of the hill was ok. Overall a good hike.

You definitely have to walk up those stone stairs. It is amazing experience. I guarantee you that. I ended up forgot to take the photo of the stone shrine itself. Believe it or not. After all the work walking up there!!!

Oyunohara Sanctuary sits just beyond the huge Otorii gate, surrounded by towering trees that give it a calm and sacred feel.

The former location of the shrine have a small forest remains which is quite spectacular and spiritual.

We hiked to get here and you could see the edge of this torii all the way across town as soon as you step out from the trees because it is SO big. Its open 24 hours but during the night there was no lighting at all, and if you plan on seeing the shrine nearby it closes at 5. There is a stamp here and one at the shrine too. Busses get more rare in the evening and there are less places to eat at night.

Wonderful structure and you get lost on its size and calmness. The whole area is extremely beautiful and peaceful. In the uphill shrine stairs, we happened to confront a group of 200 local students visiting the place, and every single of them say hi to us one after the other- surprisingly lovely and memorable :)

The largest Torii gate in Japan, the title itself is worth visiting. It has a large site, behind it is a cedar forest which nestles the old site of the Hongu Taisha before it was flooded and rebuilt at its current spot. Do not miss out visit the river site just beside the old site, it's a nice place to have a rest before returning on the route atop the flood barrier for a different angle of the Torii gate.

An absolutely mind blowing experience. The feeling of calm in this area is incredible. Not only is the view stunning, but you’re walking on such an ancient piece of Japanese history! Be sure to check out the travel centre and learn all you can about the region of Wakayama. You won’t be disappointed!

Such a cool place to visit ! Next to the Kumano Hongu Taisha and a few little cafes and restaurants ! . I would recommend going earlier in the morning or late after noon for the best photos/viewing of the Tori gate. I visited during the midday sun so the Tori gate was cast in shadow which made photos a little underwhelming.

Buddhist or not, you cannot help but be impressed by the size and magnitude of the OTorii gate and the Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine and complex. It is one of the 3 main shrines on the Kumano Kodo network. It is a Shinto Shrine with 4 main Buddha's to worship. In these shrines, common folk are to look through fences. I don't personally connect with that. I like to look at the statues I'm praying to and connect with the eyes, etc. But this is the Shinto way. The complex is bustling with pilgrims, both Japanese and foreign, mixed together. Some are there because one of the most frequently walked Kumano Kodo Trails ends a stage here, and some are visiting Japan. It's well worth a visit and you could spend an hour on the grounds. It's blossom season, so I'm lucky!

As the main shrine in the Kumano Sanzan, the outlook of the shrine is more ordinary. You would need to walk up a long stairs before reaching the main shrine, which is quite spectacular when viewing from top. The place is quite spiritual with not much tourist and people but nature sounds and beauty. For me, it was quite refreshing to visit this place.

The fifth stop on the Kumano Kodo Hosshinmon-oji hike is Kumano Hongu Taisha, the main shrine of the trail. It's a beautiful and peaceful place to get your stamp and take a break after the walk.

Our pilgrimage along the Kumano Kodo trails began at Kumano Hongu Taisha, and it felt like both a natural and symbolic choice. In the tradition of the three Kumano shrines, Hongu represents the «present» — the moment that is lived here and now. For me, as a practicing Buddhist, this was a profound spiritual experience: the journey begins with the very moment where life, breath, and meaning exist. The shrine stands deep within the mountains of the Kii region, surrounded by dense forests and rivers that have been considered sacred for centuries. The landscape is both harsh and generous: the rushing waters of the Kumano River, the mist shrouding the peaks, and the thick greenery all give it a sense of being apart from the everyday world. It is no wonder that since ancient times people have come here seeking purification and renewal. The mythology of Kumano is closely tied to deities of death and rebirth. Susanoo-no-Mikoto, the storm god, is worshipped here, as is Izanami, the primordial mother associated with the realm of the dead. Yet through these figures also runs the idea of renewal — entry into the «Pure Land», where past and future converge. It is no coincidence that emperors of the Heian period came here to pray for rebirth and the salvation of the soul. The history of the shrine has not been without hardship. In 1889, a flood destroyed the original sanctuary that stood on the banks of the Kumano River. Since then, the main shrine has been rebuilt on higher, safer ground, where it remains today. On the site of the former shrine now stand the great Otorii — the largest shrine gates in Japan. There is a rule that the inner sacred area should not be photographed, and it is important to respect that. We traveled between the main shrines mostly by bus, walking only parts of the route, and this became a reflection for me on what truly defines a pilgrimage. Yes, in the past people walked these mountains for weeks, but what matters is not the means of travel, but what you carry within. This journey is made with the heart. Each visit to a shrine, each prayer, and each pause became part of an inner journey, regardless of how I physically arrived there. The Kumano Kodo is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and to walk (or ride) along it is to join a thousand-year-old tradition. Beginning at Hongu means beginning with the present — with the living moment that opens the path to awareness. Pilgrims then usually continue to Hayatama Taisha (the past) and finish at Nachi Taisha (the future). This order carries a deep inner logic: to live the present, to recognize the past, and to face the future.

A beautiful smallish temple. Free to enter. There are a number of steps you have to climb to get to the top.

Finally reached after 2 days hiking and was totally worth it. Majestic, welcoming, inclusive, serene, beautiful, so many details to enjoy. Surprising not more busy.

End of Kumado Kodo pilgrimage trail 😃. Serene place where you can just close your eyes and medita... until the tourist next you starts eating chips 😃. You can buy some "merch" tho the hemp bracelet is overpriced and low quality but I mean it is what it is. The final stamp is awaiting you pilgrim. If you are dual pilgrim (did Camino) show up at the shrine office. The head priest will initiate drumming celebration of your achievement :).

The dessert menu has a hidden gem. For only 450yen you get vanilla ice cream with a sweet potato brûlée. The flavor was insane😍

Mehari of Shingu is local food. I recommend to have it in this restaurant. The taste of its mehari is so delicious. The owner is very kind and nice.

Old and cozy Japanese restaurant with English menu. Very delicious!

A Shingu specialty. The lunch was well worth the 1300 yen

This place was recommended to me by locals. I was traveling solo and came here after the Kumano Kodo. Place is casual and cozy. They have some set menus and also à la carte options. I enjoyed the food, it was simple but very good. The mehari rice bqlls apparently are a local speciality.

(Translated by Google) 2025/09/29 The last time I went on a holiday, there was a line even before opening time, and the parking lot was full, so I couldn't get in. So I went again on a weekday. I made a reservation by phone, worried about being crowded, but it was empty and I was able to eat right away, which was great. The mehari sushi was freshly made, and the piping hot pork miso soup was delicious. (Original) 2025/09/29 この前休日に行った時に開店前なのに並んでいて、駐車場もいっぱいで入れなかったので、改めて平日に行きました。 混んでたら悪いと思い電話予約しましたが空いていて直ぐに食べれて良かったです。 めはり寿司も出来立て、熱々の豚汁もとても美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I visited this restaurant because I wanted to try the local specialty, mehari sushi, while visiting Kumano Hayatama Taisha Shrine. The parking lot can accommodate about six cars, but the road is narrow, so it may be difficult to wait on the road if the parking lot is full. I visited on a weekend afternoon, but it was full, so I couldn't wait inside and had to wait in my car for a table to open up. The seats were like semi-private rooms, which was great because I could eat without worrying about being seen by others. I ordered the summer-only mehari sushi set meal, and although I'm not a small eater, three pieces of mehari sushi were enough to fill me up. It would be nice if you could specify the number of sushi pieces you want. It was a great memory from my trip. (Original) 熊野速玉大社に参拝で名物のめはり寿司を食べたいと利用しました。 駐車場は6台？ほど停められますが、道が狭めなので駐車場満杯の際道路で待機は難しいと思います。 週末のお昼過ぎに利用しましたが満席で、店内で待つことはできず、車で待機して空席を待ちました。 席は半個室のようになっていて、人目を気にせずに食事ができたので、とても良かったです。 定食で夏限定のめはり寿司に変更して食べましたが、少食ではありませんが、めはり寿司3つはお腹いっぱいになりました。 お寿司の数を指定できたら良いかもです。 よい旅の思い出になりました。

Great taste and service at a reasonable price

It was a delightful experience

…attentive serivce and eager to please!

(Translated by Google) The owner apparently trained in Kyoto. Every dish is carefully prepared, and I think this is one of the best restaurants in Shingu, even though there are many great restaurants there. They also have a selection of core brands of sake, wine, and whiskey, so alcohol lovers will also enjoy themselves.

(Translated by Google) Maybe because it's New Year's Eve, I was doing it even after 8:30 pm. The fact that the curry udon is quite spicy is refreshing. I definitely think the noodles are delicious. It's great to be able to eat just one piece of Mehari sushi. Is it because they have taken pretty good infection control measures? Tissues were only found at the entrance and no trash can was found. I get a runny nose when I eat hot food like curry, so I should have brought tissues and a garbage bag so I could concentrate on eating. (Original) 年越しだからか20:30過ぎてもやってた カレーうどんがかなり辛いカレーなのは新鮮。麺は確かにおやっと思う。めはり寿司1個から食べれて良き。 かなり感染対策しっかりされてて、それ故か？ティッシュが入り口にしか見当たらず、ごみ箱は見つからなかった。カレーとか熱いもの食べると鼻水出るので、集中して食べるためにティッシュとごみ袋持参すれば良かった。

(Translated by Google) (2024.11.11) Soba rice ball set, the buckwheat noodles taste fresh and mild, and the soy sauce tastes not overly salty but not burdensome. Depending on your taste, pair it with seaweed, soy sauce, green onions, and mustard, and it will taste like a different flavor. There is also a cup of hot water (?) next to it. The store owner said that after eating the soba noodles, pour it into the soy sauce cup and drink it. It's quite an interesting way to eat it. The taste of soy sauce has different flavors as the concentration changes. The rice balls wrapped in leaves at the end are said to be a local specialty. I don’t really understand this, but it is just to experience a different food culture. The opening hours are quite long, so I arranged to come after climbing the nearby Kamikura Shrine, which is quite convenient. PayPay is available. (Original) (2024.11.11) 蕎麥麵飯糰set，蕎麥麵吃起來清新溫和，醬油口味不死鹹不會有負擔。隨自己口味所好，搭配海苔、醬油、蔥、芥末，吃起來又是另外一種風味。另外旁邊有一杯熱水(?)，店家說是吃完蕎麥麵後，倒進醬油杯裡喝。蠻有趣的吃法，醬油的味道隨著濃度變化而有了不同的風味。最後用葉子包的飯糰據說是地方名物，這我就吃不大懂，但也就是體驗看看不一樣的飲食文化。 營業時間頗長，我安排在爬完旁邊的神倉神社後前來，時間上頗方便。可使用PayPay。

(Translated by Google) I wasn't hungry right after eating though. I went in because I thought I could get Mehari sushi. 3 types of mehari sushi The rice was warm and it was probably the best sushi I've ever had. The staff at the store gave me tourist pamphlets about Shingu City and shrines⛩️, which was very helpful. Next time, I would like to try the udon noodles as well. (Original) 食後すぐでお腹が空いていなかったけど めはり寿司を頂けそうだったので入店 3種類のめはり寿司 お米め温かくて、今まで食べためはり寿司の中で一番だったかも。 お店の方が、新宮市や神社⛩️の観光パンフレットをくださって、とても助かりました。 次回は、うどんも食べてみたいです。

(Translated by Google) There are both tatami rooms and table seating. Each menu item has its own unique character. The chilled curry udon has firm noodles and the soup contains grated daikon radish or something else. It has a lot of chili peppers (about the same level of spiciness as CoCo Ichibanya?), so children may not be able to finish it, but those who like spicy food will probably enjoy it. The chilled grated daikon radish soba is a bit sweet with just the soup, but when you mix in the grated daikon radish and wasabi, it creates a wonderfully delicious balance. (Original) 座敷とテーブル席があります。 メニューそれぞれに何かしらの個性が感じられます。 冷やしカレーうどんは、麺が固め、スープは大根おろしでしょうか、なにかすりおろしたものが入っています。 唐辛子多め（CoCo壱の2辛くらい？）ですので、子どもは食べきれないかもしれませんが辛いのが好きな人には好まれるでしょう。 冷やしおろしそばは、つゆだけでは甘めですが、おろしとわさびを混ぜると見事に美味しいバランスになります。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by because I wanted to eat Mehari sushi. This store has been around since the Meiji era. I was very satisfied with the mehari sushi, some of which had shrimp tempura or kakuni. The only thing I was disappointed about was that the tea seemed to run out. (Original) めはり寿司が食べたくて立ち寄りました。 明治から続くお店だそうです。 めはり寿司も、中の具が海老天や角煮になった物もあって、大満足でした。 一点だけ、お茶が出涸らしだったのが残念でした。

(Translated by Google) I came here because I heard from a local that if you want to eat udon in Shingu, go to Tanukiya. Among them, I was told that curry udon is a specialty, so I tried it. Is the curry sweet and spicy? ! I like spicy food, so I topped it with pepper and shichimi mix. Udon is soft and unique to Kansai. Some people may not like this texture. ! I felt that. I was born and raised in Kyoto, so this is my favorite type. I also had mehari sushi, and although the rice was a bit sticky, it was also delicious. This is one of the recommended shops for those who come to Kumano Kodo or Kumano Hayatama Taisha. It's also great that you can read as many local newspapers and comics as you like until the food is served! (Original) 新宮でおうどん食べるならたぬき屋さん〜と、地元の方に聞いたのでやってきました。中でも、カレーうどんは名物とのことでしたので実食。カレーは甘辛め？！私は辛いのが好きな為、コショーと七味ミックスでぶっかけ。おうどんは関西特有の柔め。この食感が苦手な人もいるかも？！と感じました。私は生まれも育ちも京都なので好きなタイプ。まためはり寿司も一緒に頂きましたが、若干ごはんがベチャついていましたが、こちらも美味しかったですよ。熊野古道や熊野速玉大社にこられた方にはおススメなお店のひとつです。 お料理が出てるまで、地元の新聞や漫画が読み放題なのも嬉しいですね！

Worth visiting. Great views. Quite a few stairs to climb.

Well worth a visit. Entry is free. Some good views from the top and plenty of Sakura in season. Castle foundations and walls in remarkably good shape given it was abandoned in 1873. This was a substantial castle and You still get the feel of a significant C16th Japanese stronghold.

The place its self isnt that great just a hot ruin without any exciting flare to it, but it really dosent matter, the moment you get up there you are struck with calmness, the view is immaculate and the cold wind even in the summer is so refreshing, believe me when I say that I couldv stayed there for hours just staring at the beautiful view of the city and mountians and enjoying the silence of nature

Serene, and not a lot of people around

A great place for you to take a look at the views of Shingu areas

Is a nice place to chilling and surrounded by greenery…

Very beautiful view of Shingu city

1. In the present day where CCP China is becoming increasingly unpopular and unwelcome thanks to its government's tireless brainwashing and reckless endeavors, I found this park amazingly well constructed, and respectfully maintained, considering how crazy some of the Chinese nationalists have behaved in recent memories both in China and overseas. 2. For a historical figure mentioned in every Chinese elementary school history text books, this park (claimed to be Xufu or Hsu Fu's resting place) is also remarkably low key and rarely visited. Of the tens of thousands Chinese visitors to this country, there are more of them visiting a LV store in Ginza in a single afternoon than to this park all year long. What an irony. 3. I appreciated the peace and quiet of this park, as well as the few ancient memorials. Again it's ironic that one cant find any real historical memorials of Xufu in China, despite the fame. This is a prime example of “礼失而求诸于野”

This is a memorial park of a mythical figure from ancient China. It was told that the envoy of Jofuku was sent by the first emperor in ancient China, the Emperor Shi of Qin Dynasty to find him the immortal elixir from the god paradise island in the East. After Jofuku set his foot in the land of Shingu in Kumano, he never thought about to return to his home country.

Place is small, not much attraction. But you can take a rest here.

Not worth to see

The park and parking is free.

small not much to see

(Translated by Google) It's recommended to visit after learning about its history. It is said that the temple was built to commemorate the achievements of Xu Fu, who came to Japan in search of immortality during the Qin dynasty and ended his life in Japan. I was amazed by the gorgeous gate. Just here, I felt like I had traveled back in time to ancient China. (Original) 歴史を学んでから訪れるのがオススメです。 秦の時代、不老不死を求めて、日本に来たのが始まりとされ、日本で生涯を終えた、徐福の功績を讃えて建てたのだそう。 豪華絢爛な門構えにびっくり。 ここだけ、古代中国にタイムスリップした感覚になりました。

Order cold and hot soba sushi set meal. Food is nice and price is reasonable.

Wonderful sushi here. Price is reasonable for the quality. Horse meat sashimi is available here. Takeout is okay. No English menu but they do have few pages of photos to help us non Japanese speaking travelers.

Pretty good! They have different cuts of sashimi like horse sashimi and whale sashimi. Open when most restaurants aren't, menu is fully translated in English and it's a 2min walk from shingu station. Great for a quick meal.

Good food but a totally rude Lady waitress who was demanding payment after drinks were served and the food ordered was still to arrive. I stood my ground and did not pay which was accepted by the head waiter. Not a nice experience!! As always I paid my bill.

(Translated by Google) A simple and delicious sushi bar. Due to its location in front of the station, it is crowded with tourists. The booklet's menu includes items that are out of stock or sold out, so it's best to order from the blackboard menu. (Original) 手軽で美味しい寿司居酒屋。 駅前の立地故、観光客で混んでいる。 冊子のメニューの中には入荷していないものや売り切れのものが含まれているので、黒板メニューから注文するのが無難。

(Translated by Google) This was my second stop after eating yakiniku. I think it's a good restaurant. It's a shame that the sardines were sold out. I understand their feelings, but it's a bit disappointing that they're so obsessed with the sign at the entrance about coronavirus and influenza. (Original) 焼肉食べて2軒目で伺いました。 良いお店だと思います。 てっさが売り切れたのが残念。 気持ちは分かりますが入口に貼り紙コロナ、インフルエンザに拘り過ぎなのが少し残念ですね。

(Translated by Google) I received a tuna bowl from Katsuura for ¥1500. Is it run by a father and his son? It seems like this is a store with many regular customers. The balance of rice and tuna in the bowl was mismatched and there was a lot of leftover rice, so I would have liked a little more tuna. The taste was outstanding. (Original) 勝浦産のまぐろ丼¥1500いただきました。親子3人で経営しているのでしょうか。常連さんの多い店だと言う感じです。丼はご飯とマグロのバランスがミスマッチでご飯が余ってしまうので、もう少しマグロの量が欲しかったですね。味は抜群に美味しかったです。

For a very unassuming cafe thats run by a auntie, along with a bold claim that they serve a mean burger, boy this place delivered. The burgers were good, very soft and tender patty, and the coffee float was something I never had before and made me crave for a crepe to end the meal. The environment was cozy but the owner was so welcoming and cheerful, made me feel like I was in my grandma's house having a meal.

After a long fun day of exploring the area and making it to Shingu, this place and the pizza I got were fantastic. Great environment and fun way to end the day. You can also use D-Pay and Pay Pay too if you want to pay by electronic money.

Cute stop for ice cream after exploring Shinju

Stumbled across this place as a foreigner, super welcoming and had an English menu. Staff were lovely and had the best fish burger of my life !

Best beef burger and chicken nuggets! Pancakes are also great! Staff is lovely!

Really tasty Hambuger! Nice place and kind staff.

I wish the name of the restaurant was also in English, so English-speakers could find this cute little place more easily! If you are in Japan, but hungry for a great burger and fries or a delicious crepe with any filling you can imagine, then head on over to this little, charming, vintage, western-themed pink burger/crepe stand near the New Palace Hotel in Shingu. I loved my burger deluxe and melon soda, and the french fries were done to perfection. The place also delivers, or you can place your order by phone and drive up and get your meal!

Oldest onsen in Japan. 800 yen per person. You have to pay per person whether you are using it by yourself or with your partner. It's a unique experience that you are only able to experience in Japan. The onsen water can be really hot, so you need to turn on the cold water. Sometimes you have to wait more than an hour.

You need to bring your own towel. There’s no queue for the public bath, but if you want to try the special blue onsen, you’ll need to purchase an additional ticket. The blue onsen allows 1–2 people at a time for 30 minutes per session. When buying the ticket, you’ll be informed of the wait time. You can also buy onsen eggs nearby.

Buy your raw eggs at the cafe and place them in the middle of the hot pool to cook your very own Onsen eggs. Definitely lots of fun. The streets smell of sulphur steam coming from pipes...

Great experience! Tsuboyu was quite an experience. 1) buy the tickets at the automated machine close to the normal onsen (800yen); the person there will give you a number 2) buy towels there or bring your own 3) line up (if necessary) according to the number you received 4) remember: shower before coming here, there are no showers 5) enter the barrack after taking off your shoes 6) check the water temperature: if it is too hot, you can use the massive water outlet to cool it down (recommended) 7) mix the water with the wooden stick 8) enjoy! 9) use the small warm water tap to fill the buckets and rinse yourself

This is the oldest hot spring in Japan. Strong smell of sulphur in the area. It is also part of kumano kodo pilgrimage area. Pilgrims soaked here to purify themselves before visiting kumano shrines. The color of the hot spring water changes several times a day due to natural minerals. You are allowed to buy eggs at the nearby convenient stores and cook in the boiling hot spring water. It will cook in about 12 minutes. You can pay small amount of money to bathe in a tub of a tiny stone hut privately about 30 minutes per session, but it is a long wait.

Great public bath. Quite new, very clean, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner us even provided. We brought our own towels and therefore only paid 400 Yen. Great value as they have two different temperatures baths. Would have wished for a cold plunge bath. Overall great experience for this little money we paid. Tattoo friendly place.

But a ticket on the vending machine, and then you will get a ticket entry. You need to go back a bit and then straight, until you see a sign on your right to the onsen. There you put your number card next to the door and enter when called. The water were very hot as we were the first of that day and took about 10 minutes to cool them down. The ones was very cool, you can go as a couple and tattoos are ok

Highlight of our stay in Wakayama Prefecture… absolutely loved the boat cruise. We were lucky not many people on that day & only 2 of us in a boat. Definitely recommend this river cruise.

Foreigners unite! Don't miss this amazing, beautiful cruise. You have to make a reservation in the website, which doesn't have English translation, so use Google translate. It costs 3000 yen per person, and takes 40 minutes. It was a highlight of our kii trip.

This is a must site. Try go get here early in the morning and take the boat up the gorge. The boat staff are so friendly. They open at 8:30. Book in advance to make sure they are running.

Majestic & stunning view, every corner is a wow. Friendly & helpful boatman & lady at the ticket booth. The water is soooo clean & clear. The boat ride took about 40 min, we had the whole boat to ourselves. They even provide a soft blanket for me to stay warm.

Nestled in Japan, Dorokyo Gorge is a serene haven of lush landscapes and towering cliffs. A boat ride along the Kitayama River unveils breathtaking rock formations, including the iconic "Mani-iwa Rock." The gorge is a harmonious blend of nature and culture, providing a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Silence and unforgettable river landscapes make you wonder and feel peacefully

Fantastic boat ride, awesome views, a real gem that even the locals under appreciate. We later found the suspension bridge over the gorge and walked it. Also a great experience.

Amazing place to be in the spring . Visited in April and the rice patties were filled with water. Spent there over 1 hour walking among the terraces and could have spent more time. There is a few designated parking areas (like 3/4 to the top and on the top as well, a toilet.

It was a scenic spot for rice terrace. Nothing special to see at the moment. Looked unattended. Road was narrow. Be aware of oncoming cars.

A beautiful traditional terraced rice field. Come here in April-May to see the planting season. Come in June/July/August to see the rice fields in full growth and come in the autumn to see the harvesting. There are a few places to park your car here but not many so it may be difficult to park. I recommend parking elsewhere and walking. There is a lovely hike nearby where from the top of the mountain you get a great view of the rice fields.

Went to see the Maruyama Senmaida rice terraces. Absolutely incomparable views, unforgettable experience! The hills are cut into terraces, fill them with rainwater, and plant paddy (rice). As scenic as it can get, when the coloured clouds and sun is also reflected from the water filled terraces; the sight offers great opportunities to the avid photographers or even amateurs. The landscape changes throughout the year, from the beginning of planting season where the terraces are water filled, then to the fields of green of the young rice plants growing up, and finally ripening to golden hues at harvest. These rice terraces are absolutely stunning! Definitely worth the trip out there.

Beautiful!! If you like photography, better you come early, because everybody booked place for take a good view. And also few area parking. People used parked the car in the side the road.

Very nice place to visit. Even in seasons other than summer the view is pretty and the terraces impressive. There is also a good toilet and a parking lot.

It was a little detour for me, pretty but not really worth it. It was early Nov and everything was a little dry

Freshest Unagi I've had. Cosy dining area with friendly staff.

Quite local grilled eel restaurant which is near to the Hayatama Taisha. It is a little bit pricy than those in City but it is quite delicious, both the eel is grilled to a firm but soft texture, the sauce is not overwhelming so that the rice is not soaked in sauce. Additionally you can add the premium sansho (Japanese pepper) on the table which greatly enhanced the flavor.

Unagi Restaurant. A great serendipidous find (chatting with locals)! Simple traditional and super fresh freshwater eel dishes (live eels are in tank in back). Japanese waitress speaks good English. On a side street near popular Suzuyaki bakery shop on main road.

Very delicious sea eel in a very authentic Japanese way. Price is cheap too for the quality of the meal. Highly recommend d

Delicious unagi. Great service and nice atmosphere. The restuarant is well known with locals for great food.

The best eel I ever had!!!! So rich, so fresh. Want to have another visit again!!

Shikaroku is a must stop in Shingu. Their unagi (eel) is incredibly fresh and delicious. My wife and I make a point to stop here when we are in the area to visit family.

Came to try nare sushi after recommendation, pretty strong tasting which is quite exotic if you're not used to it. Staff is quite shorthanded and not efficient so expect a bit of waiting

Love this local Japanese restaurant where you can fully embrace the origin of Sushi! Our aim in visiting there was to try the primitive form of Sushi called Narezushi, and we also discovered they have their own kind of Narezushi, called Hon-Narezushi. The difference between them is the length of time they are fermented in barrels. The Narezushi is kept between 1-6 months. In contrast, the Hon-Narezushi is kept for 30 years. Both are brined. So, it does not have the modern taste of Sushi with vinegar, but rather has a fermented lactose taste. It was nice of the proprietress, making sure that the Narezushis we wanted to order don’t have the colorful flavor like the modern Sushi has. She was super nice. We had it with soy sauce and ichimi sprinkles. As she mentioned, it had a much simpler flavor than modern sushi, but the fermentation gave it taste. We started with Narezushi, Hon-Narezushi, and Meharizushi, a regional vegetable-wrapped sushi, and then a regular plate of Sushi as the finale! We kind of loved the our choices, walking through a taste of the history of Sushi while enjoying their warm hospitality. If you want to be kind of a Sushi buff, it is a wonderful experience which you can gain only at the restaurant, and we highly recommend going there!

The food was amazing and the staff are really friendly. The karaage and the pickled octopus was divine.

This was my first time to try the local food and this Izakaya had the specialty dish, Narezushi. I enjoyed how they provided an English description of the dish. The atmosphere was nice and service was good. It was very cozy and I almost went back again the next day.

I've never tried Narezushi before, and this was a great place to try it with very friendly and helpful staff/chefs, and other delicious things in the menu. I think the price is very reasonable

The restaurant was closed during lunchtime on a Saturday. It did not update its opening hours on Google. I made a wasted trip and had to look for another restaurant quickly before catching the next train

Closed for lunch due to shortage of manpower, only serve dinner may2025

Lovely restaurant with very friendly staff. Try the Garlic salt ramen!

(Translated by Google) Very satisfied! A Chinese restaurant in the city. I guess lunch is mainly about ramen. Ramen, Cantonese noodles with vegetable sauce, Tianjin noodles, and chashu noodles. Both the gyoza and chashu were delicious. (Original) 大満足！ ザ街中の中華屋さん。ランチはラーメン中心なのかな。 ラーメン、野菜あんかけの広東麺、天津麺、チャーシューメン。餃子、チャーシューどれ食べても美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) This is a Chinese restaurant that is loved by locals. It is run by a husband and wife team. You can choose between chewy noodles and thick noodles. For lunch, I often order the ramen + fried rice (medium) set. It's very delicious, so please give it a try. There is a large parking lot just a short walk away with a Manso sign. If it's full, you can use Shami-san if it's daytime. (Original) 地元の方に愛されている街中華屋さんです。 ご夫婦で経営されております。 麺類はコシ麺と太麺と選べるものもあります。 お昼の、ラーメン類+焼飯(中)のセットをよく頼んでいます。 とても美味しいので、ぜひ行ってみてください。 駐車場は、ほんの少し歩いた大きな駐車場に、万惣の看板があります。 満車のときは、昼であれば三味さんの方を使っても良いとのことです。

(Translated by Google) I had the tonkotsu ramen and fried rice set. The flavor was strong and delicious. (Original) 豚骨ラーメンとチャーハンセットを。 味はしっかり濃いめでとても美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) Fried rice set!! I chose the scallion soba ramen 😋 The aroma of the scallions really stood out and it was delicious! The fried rice was also fluffy and light, perfect! I'll definitely be back! ✨ There was parking space for a few cars diagonally across the street! (Original) 炒飯セット！！ ラーメンはネギそばにしました😋 ネギの香りが引き立ってとてもおいしい！ 炒飯もふっくらパラパラで最高！ リピ間違い無しです✨ 駐車場は斜め向かいに数台分ありました！

(Translated by Google) Excellent home cooking! I ordered the assorted noodles (sweet soy sauce), which were light and refreshing without being greasy. They came with stir-fried vegetables (if you're going for stir-fried vegetables, skip the assorted noodles; the flavors are a bit similar). The stir-fried vegetables are delicious, though. I highly recommend the fried chicken; it's incredibly crispy and delicious. (Original) 表現出色的家庭料理 我點的是什錦麵(甘口醬油) 清香不膩 搭配炒野菜 (如果你想點炒野菜就不要點什錦麵 口味有點接近) 但炒野菜是好吃的👍 很推唐揚雞 非常香酥好吃

(Translated by Google) I had a ramen set at Manso, a Chinese restaurant in Shingu City, Wakayama Prefecture, for 1000 yen including tax. The strong, salty soup and chewy, thin straight noodles are very chewy and delicious. However, I think it might get a little boring at the end...that's just my personal opinion. The place was packed with locals at lunchtime. There are two entrances. Free parking is available in front of the store and about 30 meters away. Occasionally, the venue may be reserved for groups and may not be available for general use at night. (Original) 和歌山県新宮市　中華料理 万惣でラーメンセット🍜1000円税込いただきました。しっかり強めに塩味のスープにコシ強い細ストレート麺が喉ごしよくて美味しいですね。 ただ最後は少し飽きてくるかなぁ…個人的な感想です。 ランチタイムは地元民で満席でした。 入口が二ヶ所あります。 無料駐車場は店前と30mほど離れたところにあります。 たまに夜は団体貸切りあって一般利用できない場合があります。

This place is really popular, I think there's always a line. I thought the red bean jam pancake sandwich, dorayaki, was really special. Full of whole red beans. The steamed red bean jam manju was normal tasting. It's a small shop and I don't think they use preservatives like some of the larger confectionery shops. This is their only location. Because of the reluctance to expand their business they can preserve the original taste and maintained high quality.

I am still eating what I bought from here but what I have pictured below is absolutely delicious. You know the feeling when you see something and you can perfectly imagine how it tastes exactly. This was the case. Yummy!

Absolutely must buy and try, many offer and packaging to choose from.

This Japanese sweets shop is known for Suzuyaki, bite size delicately sweet sponge snack for around 400 yen. It’s perfect for a small souvenir which even local people are happy to receive. We went there Sat. afternoon after lunch. There is a line even outside of the shop (inside was already packed with customer) So, if you are visiting Shingu and thinking about buying some souvenir, trust me, go there first in the morning so that you can avoid the long line. There is a parking right next to the shop. Yet, it was a bit difficult park because of the design of it. Anyway, Suzuyaki is absolutely delicious!

Nice little bakery for scrumptious treats like spongy, not-too-sweet suzuyaki!

Small and traditional snack shop. Have car park outside

selling traditional Japanese sweets and snacks. I bought seafood flavor Japanese cookies, tiny bell cakes, Sen-Bei (pan-baked cookie), Dorayaki (flat-round pancake with azuki bean fillings). All delicious!

Wow, here you taste the difference. The rice alone is very special and makes a huge difference. We tried all specialities and they were all fantastic. We cane back a second time and loved it all again. Super friendly and welcoming family run place. Especially the local beef rolls are mouthwatering with the first bite. Thank you for this great experience. Oishi!

The tuna nigiri with salt and mandarin orange is one of the most exquisite things I’ve ever tasted in my life! The chef was very friendly and even though we spoke no Japanese we managed to order and understand each other. Little seating space, really fresh and nice sushi.

Lovely local sushi shop, right next to the JR station. The fish is delicious and fresh, and very reasonably priced. They also have a menu in English available and bento boxes for take out. It is tiny but it has the nice local mom and pop's shop atmosphere. I would come again

Normally I do not have high expectations of food around the train station as they are there for the convenience. I am very pleased with the quality of the sushi and it is one of the best I had eaten over 6 years of traveling all over Japan.

We came from Kumano Hayatama Taisha shrine and we were looking for food. We read the reviews and looked for Johuku Sushi just across Singu Train Station. The place closes at 5pm. But the owner accommodated us so that we could at least take out its unagi, salmon and beef sushi. We ate them at the benches outside the station. They were very delicious.

Excellent local sushi place with variants of sushi you've likely not tried before! I was a bit sceptical of some of the sushi that was unknown to me like the whole fish on a roll, but it was really good! Also I asked what is recommended and they gave me nigiri of shimaaji, island horse mackerel(?), with shisou and salt (no soy sauce), and oh my god it was incredible. The chef even gave us a free gift of kajiki, swordfish!! Which is a delicious fatty tuna species you will rarely have the opportunity to eat, so we felt very lucky :D

Everything was super fresh, absolutely delicious and at a great price point! Right across from Shingu station. Highly recommend. The owner/chef was really friendly and speaks pretty good English which was really helpful.

(Translated by Google) It was nice to see Glover Garden (^^) Shingu Station → Hayatama Taisha Shrine → Shingu Castle Ruins → Chapman House → Jofuku Park → Shingu Station, it took about 2 hours. It was a good workout. (Original) グラバー園みたいで良かったです(^^)新宮駅→速玉大社→新宮城址→チャップマン邸→徐福公園→新宮駅、でだいたい2時間くらい。いい運動になります💦

(Translated by Google) This is a Taisho modern building designed by Isaku Nishimura, an honorary citizen of Shingu City. You can enter for free. It is kept clean and will make you feel like you have traveled back in time to the Taisho era. It's a really nice atmosphere! (Original) 新宮市名誉市民・西村伊作設計の大正モダンな建物です。無料で入館出来ます。 綺麗に保たれており、大正時代にタイムスリップした様な気分になれます。本当に素敵な雰囲気です！

(Translated by Google) During the Meiji and Taisho eras, Shingu City was very bright and produced many cultural figures. The former Chapman residence is a valuable building designed by Isaku Nishimura, who founded Bunka Gakuin. I believe that the building designed in 1926 made a great contribution to the current housing style, so please come and visit it. It is surprising that such a rare and valuable building also rents out rooms. (Original) 明治、大正時代と新宮市は非常に輝いていており、多くの文化人を輩出した時代でした。 ここ旧チャップマン邸は、文化学院を創立した西村伊作が設計した価値ある建築物です。 大正１５年(１９２６年)に設計された建物は現在の住宅様式に多大なる貢献をしたと思いますので、是非訪れてみてください。 希少価値の高い建物が、部屋の貸出しもしているのは驚きです。

(Translated by Google) The Chapman House, completed in 1926 by Isaku Nishimura, is beautifully preserved. The rooms are available for rent, and you are allowed to bring your own alcohol. It's a shame that it's so far from my home. (Original) 西村伊作が1926年に完成させたチャップマン邸が大変美しく保存されています。 部屋の貸し出しをしており、お酒の持ち込みもOKということです。 私の家から大変遠いのがとても残念です。

(Translated by Google) An old Western-style building that you can tour for free It has been well maintained and does not show its age. The tourist association staff inside will also tell you about sightseeing spots. (Original) 無料で見学出来る昔の洋館 手入れが良くされている為時代を感じさせません。中にいる観光協会の人が観光場所も教えてくれます。

(Translated by Google) This is a compact Western-style building built in 1926. It's a good building. (Original) 1926年に建てられたコンパクトな洋館です。良い建物です。

(Translated by Google) It was near the hotel where we stayed on the Kumano Kodo tour. I went there in the morning before the museum opened to take some photos, and a staff member came to work and let me in. Although it has been restored, it is a very beautiful and elegant Western-style building that made me feel elegant. (Original) 熊野古道のツアーで宿泊したホテルの近くにありました。朝、まだ開館前の時間に訪れ写真を撮っていたところ、出勤された職員さんが入れて下さいました。修復はされているものの、とてもキレイで素適な洋館で優雅な気分になれました。

(Translated by Google) This is the former residence of poet and writer Haruo Sato. This is a literature museum relocated from Tokyo. The interior of the house was modern and stylish, and it was a nice house. I also got to see the study. (Original) 詩人で作家の佐藤春夫の旧邸です。 東京から移築した文学館です。 屋内もモダンでハイカラで素敵な邸宅でした。 書斎も見れました。

(Translated by Google) I entered the museum not knowing much about him, but I noticed that he was probably a famous artist, but the modern structure of his house caught my eye. I felt a sense of familiarity with the easy-to-understand sentences. (Original) よくわからないまま入館したが、有名な作家らしいが自宅のモダンな造りに目がいった。 わかりやすい文でどこか親しみを感じた

(Translated by Google) It's interesting to see both Haruo Sato's modern sensibilities and lifestyle. There are also materials related to Tanizaki, so it is also recommended for Junichiro Tanizaki fans. (Original) 佐藤春夫のモダンな感性と生活感の両面を感じられて興味深い。谷崎に関する資料もあるので谷崎潤一郎ファンの方にもおすすめです

(Translated by Google) I was finally able to visit this place that I had always wanted to visit. It was quiet and had a good atmosphere, making it a nice place to stay for a long time. (Original) ずっと行きたかったこの地にようやく訪れることが出来ました。 静かで雰囲気もよく、ずっと居座っていられるような良いところでした。

(Translated by Google) I'm embarrassed to say that I've never seen the film before, but the opening line of Director Nobuhiko Obayashi's ``Yuki, Mountains, Beaches'' uses this sentence, ``Boys' Day.'' The artist's home may seem retro-modern to me, but I felt like I was visiting his home with good taste. I feel like I'm also a writer who says that a smaller study feels more relaxing. (Original) 恥ずかしながら作品に触れたことないなと思っていたのですが大林宣彦監督の｢野ゆき山ゆき海辺ゆき｣の冒頭に、この文章から始まる｢少年の日｣が使われてましたね。 作家の住まい、今の感覚ではレトロモダンですがセンスの良い方だなと素敵なお宅拝啓気分でした。書斎は狭い方が落ち着くっていうのは作家でもないのですか判る気がします。

(Translated by Google) Even if you are not interested in literature, if you like modern architecture, you should enter! This house has too much taste... It's so beautiful that it's a shame that photography is not allowed. (Original) 文芸に興味がなくても近代建築好きなら、入るべき！　センスありすぎでしょ、このお家… こんなに素敵なのに、写真撮影禁止なのが残念。

Super sweet mandarins.

Too bad this local alley was closed when we visited. The shrine's parking lot across from the alley is convenient, and free.

(Translated by Google) Takoyaki restaurants have a lot of humorous menu items, which makes it interesting. The owner, the lady, is also a friendly and nice person. The takoyaki was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and very delicious. Ten-chan, the signboard cat, likes to keep her hair clean and always keeps her hair well-groomed. He was very friendly and fell asleep on my lap. Please come when sightseeing. (Original) たこ焼き屋さんにユーモアのきいたメニューがたくさんあって面白い。店主のおばちゃんも気さくで良い人。たこ焼きも外側がカリカリ、中側はふわふわで、とても美味しかったです。 看板猫のてんちゃんは、綺麗好きでいつも毛並みを整えています。人懐っこく、膝の上に乗って寝てしまいました。観光の際は是非。

Not much stores are opened, only can buy sake, fruit and a small restaurant for light food

(Translated by Google) Since Taisha shrines are sacred, I have given up on taking pictures of the temples. The udon at Akiya in Kawahara Yokocho next door is delicious! Besides udon, minced meat rice is also good! When you go to Kumano Hayatama Taisha, be sure to stop by❔ (Original) 大社は神聖なるものなので、ご神殿の写真は、辞めました。 隣にある、川原横丁の暁屋（あきや）のうどんが美味しい！ うどんの他に、肉そぼろごはんも又いい！ 熊野速玉大社に行った時は、是非、寄ってみては❔

(Translated by Google) These houses are located along the Kumano River, opposite Kumano Hayatama Taisha Shrine. A unique feature of these Kawahara houses is that they can be easily assembled and dismantled, without using a single nail. They were dismantled before the riverbank was flooded by the Kumano River's flood and transported to agariya, an evacuation site in Funamachi (the townscape next to Hayatama Taisha Shrine), and then returned to the riverbank and reassembled once the water receded. This Kawahara House Alley is known as the "Niitaka Kawahara House," and was restored and revived by students from the Construction Engineering Department of Shingu High School using documents from other sources. It takes about an hour to assemble and about 30 minutes to dismantle. There are several souvenir shops and restaurants nearby. (Original) 熊野速玉大社向かい、熊野川沿いにある家屋です。 この川原家の特徴は、釘を1本も使わずに家屋が簡単に組み立て、解体が出来ることです。 熊野川の大水で川原が水没する前に解体して、船町(速玉大社横の町並み)の避難場所である上がり家(あがりや)に運び、水が戻ると再び川原に戻り組み立てたそうです。 こちらの川原家横丁は、「新高川原家」と称され、新宮高等学校建設工学科の生徒が資料を元に復元、再生したものだそうです。 組み立ては1時間、解体は30分程度だそうです。 数軒のお土産屋、食事処などがあります。

(Translated by Google) It seems to be recreating the time when wood was transported through the Kumano River and flourished in the past. There is a signboard with this meaning near the Hayatama Taisha shrine where rice cakes are sold as souvenirs. There are not many shops now, but it seems that there were shops as far as the Kumano River. (Original) 昔に木材を熊野川を通じて運ばれてきて栄えた当時を再現しているようです。 速玉大社のお土産で詣で餅を販売している近くにその意味の看板があります。 今では、少ないですが、熊野川近くまでお店があったそうです。

The trail entrance is hard to find and the stones are slippery lmao gonna kill me anyway it’s so beautiful and fruity way

Super scenic and chill trail. Highly recommended. So comfy. Easy to find. Just get off miwasaki station and walk along the coast, got a signboard at the trail head right beside the traffic light Fully enjoy the nature sound for the whole trail, fantastic orchestra. diff spot diff sound, and you will notice very prominent change. little stream, birds, wind, sea waves and the total quiet. Also diff shades of green and blue colours. Enjoy the sun, sea and forest. Good spots for meditation, don’t rush thru for the stamp

Good for an early mornig walk. Scenic and not too difficullt. As others have said Google maps directions are not helpful as they direct to a car park which is not connected to the slope. in my opinion best tpo go up the side road past the big police station and then turn right.

Impossible to access

(Translated by Google) After the walk, I felt my soul was cleansed. Finally, I feel that it is really great to have come However, the entrance was not clearly marked and I almost went past the main road. Later, a kind traveler told me to turn left, and then I turned right when I saw the small road. After leaving Miwazaki, you can go to the beach, it is very beautiful (Original) 走完覺得心靈整個被洗淨了不少 最後覺得有來真的是太好了 不過入口的標示不太清楚，大馬路差點走過頭，後來一個好心旅人說要左轉，之後看到小路再右轉 三輪崎出來後可以去海邊看看，非常美

(Translated by Google) I walked three courses along the Kumano Kodo Nakahechi, but this was the most enjoyable. Koyazaka starts near the southern end of Ojigahama Beach in Shingu City. If you get off at the Hirotsuno bus stop on the route bus that connects JR Shingu Station and Kii-Katsuura Station, it's a 10-minute walk to the starting point of Koyazaka Beach, where there is a large parking lot and toilets. There is a river flowing behind the toilets, and you can reach Ojigahama Beach by going under the JR Kisei Main Line (Kinokuni Line) tracks. There is a large rock towering to the right of the beach, and it is easy to imagine that you will cross it on Koyazaka Beach. Soon after starting to climb Koyazaka, you will be able to see Ojigahama Beach. (Original) 熊野古道中辺路を3コース歩きましたが、ここが最も楽しかった。 新宮市内の王子ヶ浜が南に果てる所付近から始まる高野坂。 JR新宮駅と紀伊勝浦駅を結ぶ路線バスの広角(ひろつの)バス停で降りると徒歩10分で広い駐車場とトイレのある高野坂登り口に着きます。 トイレの後ろには川が流れていて、JR紀勢本線(きのくに線)の線路を潜ると王子ヶ浜に出られます。浜の右手には大岩が聳え、高野坂で越えて行くのだなと想像されます。 高野坂を登り始めると間もなく王子ヶ浜を眺望出来ます。

(Translated by Google) In the middle of my cycling trip, I parked my bike and walked a bit along the Kumano Kodo trail. There were old stone steps under my feet, so I recommend wearing trekking shoes. Surrounded by trees, it was cool even in midsummer. (Original) サイクリングの途中、自転車を置いて熊野古道をちょっと歩いてみました。足元は古い石段なので、トレッキングシューズがおすすめです。 真夏でも木々に囲まれ、ひんやりとしていました。

Comforting home cooked food. Some of the side dishes were not to my liking but the rest were delicious. The restaurants interior is decorated with memories of the owners and it feels as if you're in their house.

One of the most authentic experience we’ve had in Japan. Despite talking exactly zero word of English, the owner welcomed us on a quiet evening and served us what might be the best bowl of noodles we had on our trip. We sat on the ground in a very decorated room with the TV, making us feel like we were having dinner at someone’s grandma. I highly recommend!

Amazing udon noodles in a restaurant that feels like your grandmother’s living room. Tasty food, go there!

Awesome little place. Super kind owners. It's like eating at someone's home. The food came out really fast and was very good. Like others have Said it was like a home cooked meal. Good price, and big portions... what more could you ask for? Definitely recommend.

The udon here is made fresh and is handmade. the soup was very fresh and the noodles were very chewy and delicious. the meat was good too. you can watch TV as you eat. I had a great meal here and would definitely come back again the next time i am in shingu. I ordered the niku udon!

Wandered in on a stop on our trip in Japan and it was lovely! You take off your shoes and sit on a cushion on tatami mats. The menu is both in English and Japanese and there’s a variety of udon and rice dishes. I got the matsutake mushroom udon, which varies in price depending on the day. I believe they’re foraging the mushrooms as the walls are covered in photos of mushrooms out in the forest, in the soil, etc… it was excellent with thick chewy noodles.

What can I say about this place, except that it's a very nice family run establishment with very fresh noodles and delicious broth. I had the mountain veggie udon, and my wife has the tempura udon. Both were exceptional. If you're in the area and want that authentic taste, this place deserves you're attention. 👍

Nice and delicious food, and the price is so reasonable!! You can experience typical Japanese bar restaurant and I definitely recommended this restaurant. However, the reason I put 4 stars of Atmosphere is because you can smoke downstairs and we didn’t know that. We asked if we could move to the non-smoking table and it was ok so that was no problem. This reminds me of smoking culture is still exist in Japanese country area.

(Translated by Google) [Enjoy a variety of delicacies] [Comfortable service with caring attitude] I visited this restaurant while traveling. Based on my research, I found that they have many unique menu items, including local specialties. When I sat at the counter, my eyes wandered to the menu that was posted in front of me, and it was true that there were many dishes that I could only see here. There was also a whiteboard and a list of dishes, and I had a hard time getting the whole picture as I looked back and forth several times, but it was fun to choose while being distracted. I ordered a beer while looking at the menu, and the egg tofu that came with it was topped with a generous amount of salmon roe (or harako?), which was a good snack on its own. Since I was traveling, I wanted to try as many unique dishes as possible that were unique to this place, so I ordered tuna stomach, dolphin sashimi, fried moray eel, hairtail with vinegared miso, and shirasu radish, each of which I paired with local sake. The tuna stomach was boiled. The tuna is quite big, and the stomach is quite thick. The texture is chewy but soft, and although it has a slight hint of innards, it doesn't have any strange smell. The ginger soy sauce is refreshing and delicious. The dolphin meat was much different from whale meat than I had imagined. When I put it in my mouth, I first felt the firmness of the tendons, then noticed the unique aroma with a slight fishy smell, and the faint sweetness of the oil lingered. The overall taste was soft, and the fishy smell disappeared with the use of ginger as a seasoning, but for someone like me who doesn't know how many times I'll eat it in my lifetime, I thought that if I didn't enjoy the aroma, there would be no point in eating the dolphin meat. The fried moray eel was surprisingly soft and had a sweet white meat. The skin was crispy on the outside, but it felt thick. The softness of the meat and the texture were a nice accent. The hairtail vinegar miso is very elastic, or rather, hard, but I think it is a delicacy that allows you to enjoy the texture. It was perfect with sake. It was winter, but I was also happy that it contained myoga. I also enjoyed local sake such as the dry Pacific Ocean with a strong volatile taste and the Kumano Sanzan Ginjo, which was cold but had a very dense flavor. When I ordered alcohol, they brought me cold water without me having to ask, and the staff were very friendly even though they were busy. In the middle of the meal, they even served me soup and gratin, which were both delicious and I felt bad about it. It was a great experience and a memory for one night of my trip. Thank you for the meal.

(Translated by Google) We were visiting Shingu on a trip and dropped in without a reservation at 5:30pm, the opening time on a weekday. As there were only two of us without a reservation, we were shown to the counter right at the entrance and sat down. We wanted to eat local cuisine, so we ordered mainly seafood that would go well with sweetfish sake made with grilled sweetfish broth and pufferfish fin sake. Everything was delicious, including Taiji dolphin and minke whale sashimi, deep-fried moray eel, fried white fish (flounder today), grilled kinki sea bass, cuttlefish tempura, tentacle tempura, and fried venison. Our stay for two adults lasted about two and a half hours and cost around ¥15,000. It seems to be a popular restaurant, and many customers without reservations were turned away, so it's best to make a reservation. Thank you for the delicious meal. (Original) 新宮に旅行で訪れ、平日オープンの17時半に予約なしでお邪魔しました。 予約なしの2人でしたので、入口すぐのカウンターに案内され着座。 地のものを食したくて、焼いた鮎を出汁にした鮎酒や𓆡ふぐヒレ酒に合う魚介を中心にオーダーしました。 太地町のイルカやミンククジラの刺身、ウツボの唐揚げ、白身魚（今日はヒラメ）のフライ、キンキの塩焼き、コウイカの天ぷらやゲソ天、鹿のフライ等、全てが美味でした。 大人2人で２時間半くらい滞在し、¥15,000 くらいでした。 人気店のようで、予約以外のお客様は沢山断られていましたので、予約されるのが好ましいと思います。 この度は、ご馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation and visited during the October holidays. It was my first time in Shingu and my first time in the city, so I was excited. I started with sake. Sake pairs well with fish. Local fish and local sake. The appetizer was delicious, followed by the sashimi platter. The fish itself was delicious. Sweet, savory, and fatty, but not fishy. It went down great with sake. Tempura, hoba-yaki, complimentary fried rice, and soup to cleanse the palate. Everything was delicious, and the staff were friendly. My friend and I got a little excited at the counter. The flounder, the tuna, was superb. Thank you for the meal. I'll definitely be back. (^^) (Original) 10月の連休に予約して訪問。 初めての新宮、初めての町なので期待して。最初から日本酒で。魚には日本酒がよく合う。地元の魚に地元のお酒。お通しから美味しい。そして刺盛り。魚自身がうまい。甘み、うまみ、脂はのってるのに臭みなく。日本酒もすすむー 天麩羅も、朴葉焼きも、サービスで一口炒飯、口直しの汁物も。 全てのお料理美味しく、スタッフさんも良い人で。カウンターでお隣さんと少し盛り上がってしまいました。 鮃、鮪、絶品です。ご馳走様でした。 又。来たくなります(^^)

(Translated by Google) A nearby hotel introduced me to a restaurant where you can eat local food, so I came here. There are lots of local things like dolphins, whales, and tuna. First, we ordered dolphin sashimi, whale innards (boiled), and beer. First dolphin in my life. At first glance, I thought it might be a bit strange with its red and black color, but it was delicious! There was no fishy smell or anything like that, and if anything, it was closer to horse sashimi. It goes well with ginger. Whale innards are also delicious when eaten with vinegar miso and spicy soy sauce. They come in a variety of flavors, from slightly crunchy to soft, making them perfect as snacks. Before that, let's talk about it. Squid and bamboo shoots with avocado dressing. Delicious and something I've never had before! The portion is quite large, and it's a la carte dish that doesn't seem like an accompaniment. Also, when I was eating, I noticed that the red soup stock that was served was a red soup stock that had tsumitsu in it. After a little while, it was time for service, and the rice was served! What a nice shop. Finish off with a glass of sake and whitebait radish. The whitebait radish was also delicious and full of whitebait. I drank two beers and sake, and it cost 4,000 yen. The cost performance is also perfect. It was a very good restaurant in terms of food, price, and service. I had good memories of the trip. (Original) 近くのホテルで、地のものが食べられるお店と紹介してもらい来店。 イルカ、クジラ、マグロなど、地のものがいっぱいです。 まずは、イルカのお造りとクジラの内蔵のうでもの（茹でたもの）とビールを注文。 人生初イルカ。 見た目は、赤黒くてちょっと癖がありそうかなと思いましたが、食べると美味しい！生臭さなど癖は全くなく、どちらかと言うと、馬刺しとかに近いかな。生姜と良く合います。 クジラの内蔵のうでものも、酢味噌とピリ辛醤油で食べると、美味しい。 少しコリコリしているところや、柔らかなところなど色々あって、つまみには最高です。 その前に、付け出し。イカとタケノコのアボカド和え。食べたことの無い、付出しで美味しい！量もかなりあって、付出しとは思えない一品料理。 それと、食べていると、サービスの赤出汁ですと、ツミレ入の赤出汁が。 もう少しすると、サービスですと、炊き込みご飯が！ なんていいお店だ。 最後は、コップ酒とシラス大根で〆。シラス大根も、シラスたっぷりで、美味しかった。 ビール2杯と日本酒も飲んで、4000円。コスパも申し分なしです。 料理、値段、サービス、どれをとってもとてもいいお店でした。 旅行のいい思い出ができました。

(Translated by Google) While planning and researching my trip to Shingu, I found an izakaya that I wanted to visit and made a reservation in advance. The tuna sashimi and aradani are also exquisite. This was my first time eating tuna tripe, and it had a crunchy texture, making it the perfect accompaniment to alcohol. There were also free service items, and I enjoyed drinking and fish dishes. (Original) 新宮旅行を計画、リサーチしていたら行ってみたい居酒屋さん見つけ事前に予約し伺いました。まぐろ刺身、あら煮も絶品。まぐろの胃袋初めて食べましたがコリコリ食感、お酒のあてには最高の一品。サービス品もあり楽しくお酒と魚な料理を堪能しました。

(Translated by Google) This restaurant has a good reputation among locals. I would have liked to have poured hot sake into a bamboo tube. They have a wide selection of delicacies and izakaya-style menu items. The interior of the restaurant has more of an izakaya feel than a traditional Japanese restaurant. (Original) 地元の方に聞いても評判の良いお店。熱燗を竹筒に注いでいたのやりたかったかも。珍味系も充実してますし、居酒屋的なメニューも豊富です。店内は割烹というより居酒屋さんのイメージです。

Nice place with private seated sitting. Prices are very high though, the grilled chicken costs ¥1690 but it’s a few pieces of grilled chicken and a wing with no rice or anything. The price on the menu does not include tax.

This place is full of life! Later in the night, the locals trickle in and bring positive spirits here. The owner loves fishing and has photos of his dog in the restroom, so I couldn’t help but admire the personal touch there. Order at least one drink here and enjoy the assortment of omakase yakitori skewers. But if you’re more hungry, definitely order sashimi here it seems well known for this. The people here are social and friendly, so if you are looking for good company and food, you must come! English menu is available so there should not be communication issues, but my advice is to come right when it opens because it gets busy here. When it gets busy, be prepared to compete for attention with a sumimasen! 😂 I think you’ll have a good time in this establishment if you aren’t too shy.

Food quality is above expected. Sashimi is very fresh. Variety choice of drinks provided. Staffs are very nice and helpful. Would definitely visit again if I stay in Shingu.

This small, local Izakaya has absolutely delicious food made fresh and served quickly. It's a popular, high energy, fun place that fills up quite fast, so reservations can be important if you have a larger group or It's a weekend. I enjoyed the food and atmosphere so much I went back for a second dinner in the same week!

A place where we were welcomed very warmly and the food was excellent ! Recommend 100%

Food is so yummy. It’s different from other octopus which is really fresh. Boss is friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Food and the service was absolutely great! The food came quick and just to any Izakaya standard taste. Quantity for price is good. But the service was even better, the owner/manager would personally check up on you to see how things are going and have a quick conversation with you. If you're looking for a bar to go to nightly/weekly, to just relax, this is the place in Shingu. I recommend the moriawase Sashimi set, chicken wings and other yakitori.

A good Yakiniku at an affordable price.

(Translated by Google) I went for the all-you-can-eat lunch. The prices were reasonable and the staff was courteous. There is a children's space in the waiting room, which is great for families with small children. You can also make reservations for your visit online. There are many wonderful things as mentioned above, but the most noteworthy thing is the food. After all, the (only) thing I recommend is the ketchup that comes with the fries. It has a perfect balance of sourness and sweetness, and I think it's a testament to the efforts of a company that has been making ketchup for over 100 years. Furthermore, the taste of the other menu items at this restaurant perfectly complemented the deliciousness of the ketchup, so even though it was a Yakiniku restaurant, I ended up (reluctantly) ordering nothing but fries. Also, despite the all-you-can-eat option, I was able to keep my stomach to 60%. I think the staff's customer service and the taste of the ketchup are 5 stars, without any bias. I think this is a unique service that is unique even in Japan, but as clearly stated on the store's signboard, this is a charcoal grilled restaurant. (Not written) It will be a yakiniku restaurant. (Original) 食べ放題のランチに行きました。値段はリーズナブルで店員さんの接客も丁寧でした。待合室にはキッズスペースがあり小さい子連れの家族にはありがたいと思います。またネットで来店予約もできるようです。 上記のように素晴らしい点が多々ありますが、中でも特筆すべきは料理です。何と言っても（唯一）おすすめなのがフライドポテトに付いてきたケチャップです。程よい酸味と甘さのバランスが絶妙で、ケチャップづくりに100年以上こだわってきた企業努力はさすがだと思います。さらに、こちらのお店では他のメニューの味がケチャップの美味しさのこの上ない引き立て役となっており、焼肉屋にも関わらず、つい（仕方なく）フライドポテトばかりを注文してしまいました。また、食べ放題にも関わらず腹六分目に抑えることができました。 忖度無しで店員さんの接客とケチャップの味は星5だと思います。 なお、全国的に見ても類が無いここだけのサービスかとは思いますが、お店の看板にも明記してある通り、こちらは炭火（注：炭火でお肉を焼いて食べられるとは書いていない）焼肉店になります。

(Translated by Google) I go there for all-you-can-eat meals, but lately I've been going there more for lunch. The prices are reasonable and the salad bar is great. You can also eat as many desserts as you want! They also have soft serve ice cream and ice cream. The toppings are great too. I recommend it. (Original) 食べ放題も行きますが、最近はランチが多いです。お値段も手頃でサラダバーが魅力です。 デザートも食べ放題！ソフトクリームやアイスもあります。トッピングもいいね。お勧めします。

(Translated by Google) I went there on a weekday evening, but it wasn't crowded at all and I was able to get in right away. Thanks to the delivery robot, which is rare in this area, the food was served quickly. The staff were also very helpful. (Original) 平日の夜に入りましたが、全然混んでおらずすぐに入れました。ここら辺では珍しい配膳ロボットのおかげもあって、提供は早かったです。店員さんの対応もよかったです。

(Translated by Google) I was driving around sightseeing in Kumano when I got hungry and happened to pass by a signboard that caught my eye and I decided to go in. Since the lunch was reasonably priced, I wasn't worried about the taste being so good, but when I ate it, I was so satisfied with the taste that I became a fan! ...I wish it was closer to home (.>д<) (Original) 熊野観光でドライブしてたらお腹すいてきてたまたま通った時に看板が眼に留まり入りました。 ランチがお手頃でしたのでそこそこの味ならと気にしていませんでしたが、食べたらめちゃめちゃ満足なお味でファンになってしまいました！ ...家が近かったらなぁ(。>д<)

(Translated by Google) It's fun, delicious, affordable, and the staff are friendly. (Original) とにかく楽しい、美味しい そして安い、定員が、優しい

I truly truly recommend this trip to everyone who don’t have to walk the whole Kumano Kodo! The view is fantastic and the guides are amazing doing a great job explaining things we see. And the price is very fair for what astonishing views you get on the boat!

The Kumano Boat River Cruise was truly one of the highlights of my Kumano Kodo Trail journey. The experience was both serene and unforgettable, offering a peaceful change of pace as we floated down the river toward the next shrine. The boat drivers were clearly experts, skillfully navigating the current with ease, and our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and cultural insights along the way. Ones particularly special moment was when she paused to play a traditional Japanese flute, filling the river valley with soft, melodic notes, it was absolutely magical. The combination of history, nature, and quiet reflection made this cruise an experience I’ll never forget. I highly recommend it to anyone walking the Kumano Kodo, it’s a beautiful, soulful, and perfectly guided experience.

A must do. Especially if you don't plan the walk the entire Kumano trail😅. Not only it allows you to appreciate the natural beauty of region, it also reminds you of its brutal power--the same tranquil river (Kumanogawa) was a whole 30meter higher a decade ago during a direct typhoon hit, killing many and destroyed towns along the way. It's amazing to see some of these pictorique villages bouncing back and ever more beautiful, but can't lose sight of the might of the nature that can take away everyrhinf it gives you Note: the boat trip, like everything else in Japan that requires reservation, needs to be planned ahead in advance about 30-60 days (the window doesn't open till then).

Nice Boat Tour going down the Kumano River. It also part of the pilgrimage while going to Shingu. Our Guide is Kioko. she explain to us about the pass and also the damage typhoon does to the region. We also have a deep understanding about the river and the region. Her flute playing skill is also good. cya all again soon :)

Amazing tour, and our host was fantastic. This is a must do during kumano kodo.

Highly recommend the cruise by boat down the river to Kumano Hayatama Taisha Grand Shrine - the route that connects Hongu and Shingu. Plan to spend around 90 minutes experiencing magnificent nature and listening to the call of wild birds as well as an explanation of points of interest provided by a "storyteller" in English!

We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon on the boat tour. Despite it being cold and windy with a little drizzly at times, we still had a wonderful experience. Our guide was friendly, spoke clear English and was entertaining. The river scenery was beautiful. And it amazing to know people have taken this voyage for over 1,000 years. The perfect way to travel to Shingu after walking Kumano Kodo to Hongu.

This is not a difficult trail to go to the waterfall. It's going to be a 20-minute trunk from the entrance area. However if your feet are very big it might be difficult to find a foothold because some of the areas are bit narrow. There are many tree roots. It's easy to trip or sprain an ankle. What day in mid-November there was no one there at all at around 8 in the morning. So it's a nice place to enjoy quiet breakfast and enjoy the sound of the water. The water was refreshing and tasted neutral. I don't recommend drinking it but at the same time, I don't think it's dangerous. Many of the areas have a sign that say only one person at a time should cross. Be careful and make sure that not too many people are on the bridge.

Beautiful waterfall. The small path is a bit rocky and slippery sometimes, but if you walk carefully it is no problem. We took our 4 year old son and he loved the adventurous path!

Unfortunately, there was no water in July, 2023.

Hm, not really worth the trouble. Ok diversion if you have time to spare.

Stunning.

(Translated by Google) Although it is not very well known, this waterfall is also included in the 100 best waterfalls in Japan, and it is truly a wonderful waterfall. I saw the waterfall in the morning, and the halo was just right, making it a fantastic sight. It was a struggle to get there, but it was really wonderful and I was mesmerized for a while. The waterfall itself is wonderful, but it is difficult to get there. It may not be a big deal for those with good walking skills, but those who are not confident will need to be prepared. ① The bridge at the entrance is narrow, so park on the side. ② The start is at the entrance to the forest next to the graveyard. ③ When you see the stone wall, turn right! The left is off the course. ④ The moss-covered stones and wooden boards are very slippery. ⑤ It is not flat at all, and there are many ups and downs. Especially ③, if you miss the stone wall steps and go straight along the riverside, you will be off the course and end up right under the bridge. You can somehow get back, but it is dangerous when the river floods. It is not flat at all, and heels are out of the question, and sandals are also not allowed. You need sneakers and long pants. There were also lots of animal footprints, so maybe we'll even see a bear? The reward is great if you work hard, so do your best to reach the waterfall. (Original) 知名度はかなり低いですが、ここも日本の滝100選に 入っている滝で、本当に素晴らしい滝です。 朝から滝をみましたので、ちょうど後光が入る形で 幻想的な光景でした。行くまで苦労しましたが 本当に素晴らしくしばらくの間見入ってしまいました。 さて、滝自体は素晴らしいのですがそこに行くまでが大変です。 健脚の人は大したことはないのでしょうが自信がない人は 相当の覚悟が必要です。 ①入口の橋はせまいので、横に路駐 ②スタートはお墓の横の森への入り口 ③石垣が見えたら右！　左はコース外 ④苔の石や木の板がよくすべる ⑤決して平たんではなくアップダウンが多い 特に③石垣の階段を見逃して河辺を直進すると コース外で、橋の真下にでます。 なんとか復帰できますが、川が増水すると危ない 決して平たんではなく、ヒールは論外サンダルもダメ。 スニーカー長ズボンが必要。 また、動物の足跡もたくさんあったので熊も 出るかも？ 頑張った分ご褒美もすごいので、頑張って滝まで 到着してください。

We stopped here on the way from Totsukawa village to Kumano City. A very scenic gorge. The cafe near where we parked our car was closed just before we arrived.

It has been tough for me to find information on where to go in the Dorokyo Gorge area, so hopefully this is helpful - this is an absolutely beautiful scenic spot. The hotel/cafe next to it is closed from January to March (at least in 2024) but you can still walk around the cliff side and down to the rocky beach. This turn of the gorge is absolutely beautiful. In the winter, a lot of the gorge looks dry, but this part is full and vibrant. A beautiful scenic point to take in this amazing landscape!

(Translated by Google) It has a power that cannot be conveyed in photos. There are long stairs, so be careful of your physical strength. It is also the border between three prefectures: Mie, Wakayama, and Nara. (Original) 写真では伝わらない迫力があります。 長い階段があるので体力には注意です。 三重・和歌山・奈良の三県境でもあります。

(Translated by Google) The Kitayama River valley spans three prefectures: Wakayama, Mie, and Nara. Starting from the top, it's called Okutoro, Kamitoro, and Shimotoro. Among them, Shimotoro, located around the Tadoko settlement in Totsukawa Village, is known as Toro Hatcho. Its tranquil river surface and sheer cliffs create a breathtaking view, and it's been designated a Special Natural Monument by the national government. The name Toro Hatcho is apparently derived from the words Kuchi Hatcho (mouth hatcho) and Te Hatcho (hand hatcho), referring to the unparalleled beauty of the mountains, rocks, and water.

(Translated by Google) I went there as a destination for a drive. (2024.5) Walk down the hill from the parking lot Encounter a nostalgic building In the past, it was called "Azumaya" Started as an inn for rafters It seems that the name has changed to "Toro Hotel". It is now closed as a hotel. It looks like there is a cafe and miscellaneous goods for sale. It was during Golden Week, so it was fully booked. I gave up on visiting the Doro Hotel. Go down the stairs to the river The water is so beautiful Is there a whirlpool around the front of the Doro Hotel? It was a strange sight as the flow of the river was opposite from the back of the river to the front. Doro Gorge Tourism Ambassador I also met Kinako-chan I'm very satisfied. A water jet boat also passed by on the way. It seemed to feel good. There is a spacious parking lot.

(Translated by Google) If you go on Route 169 from Kumano, you need to be careful because there are some narrow roads and tunnels where you can't pass each other. It's a valley that spans the border of Nara, Wakayama, and Mie prefectures. If you go down from the free parking lot to the riverbank, you will reach the boarding point. If you go straight without getting off, you will find a suspension bridge. The bottom board creaks and sways, so it was a very scary suspension bridge lol. There is a free parking lot, toilet, vending machines, etc. There is a mysterious cat that I don't know much about. It doesn't move at all, but it's really big lol. It must be too fat lol. At the end of the road straight from the parking lot, there is an observation deck with Toro Hotel, a bus stop, vending machines, and toilets. If you don't know anything, the police officer at the police box will kindly tell you (there is a cat here). If you get off there, you will reach the boarding point. If you go straight on the way, you will find the suspension bridge. If you don't get off and go down the top road, it is a private house, but it opens its terrace to tourists! People actually live there, so be careful not to bother them! There are private houses on the route to the suspension bridge, so be careful! Both the view of Toro Gorge from above and the view from below by descending to the riverbank are wonderful. I would like to try river boating at least once (river boats depart from other places besides here and there seem to be various boats). It is a very beautiful and wonderful place. It is a place that you should go at least once!! There are many other places with good locations in the surrounding area, but in terms of scale, this is the best!! (Original) 熊野方面から169号行くと所々狭道で完全に離合不可のトンネルも有注意が必要です奈良和歌山三重三県境にまたがる渓谷で無料駐車場から河原の方に降りれば乗船乗場で途中降りずに真っ直ぐ進むと吊り橋があります、ギシギシと底板がたわむし揺れるのでかなり怖い吊り橋でしたw 無料駐車場、トイレ、自販機等有 ※よく分からん謎の猫が居ました全く動きませんが凄くデカイw太り過ぎだろwww 駐車場から真っ直ぐ突き当たりが展望所で瀞ホテルとバス停と自販機とトイレが有、わからない事は駐在所？の警察官が親切に教えてくださります(ココに猫が居る)そこを降ると乗船乗場途中真っ直ぐ行くと吊り橋、降ずに1番上の道を行くと民家だが観光客にテラスを解放してくれています！実際に住んでいますので迷惑にならない様に注意！吊り橋行くルートも道中に民家が有るので注意！上から観る瀞峡も河原に降りて下から観る瀞峡も何方も素敵です1度は川下りしてみたいですな(川下りはココ以外でも、各所から出ていますし船も色々有るみたいです)とても綺麗で良い処です 1 度は行ってみるべき場所！！ココ以外でも周辺にはロケーション良い処たくさん有るがスケールはココが1番だね！！

(Translated by Google) I traveled from Shingu to Gojo on National Highway 168, and at first I drove all the way along the Kumano River. It's a pretty long river, and I think I drove along it for about an hour. While it doesn't have the "clear stream" feel of the equally long Nagara River, the water seems to be quite clean. It also gave me the impression of pebbles and gravel. Route 168 runs parallel to the Kumano River, and you can see the river, making it a very pleasant ride. I'm glad I was able to drive along the Kumano River. (Original) 新宮から国道168号線で五条まで移動したのですが最初は熊野川沿いをずっと走りました。 かなり長い川で1時間はこの河沿いを走っていたのではないかと思います。 同じく長い川の長良川のように「清流」という感じではないもののかなり水は綺麗な模様。 そして、小石や砂利っぽい印象を受けました。 熊野川を併走する168号線は川が見えるのでとても気分良く走ることが出来ます。 熊野川沿いを走ることができて良かったです。

(Translated by Google) This river flows from Tenkawa Village in Nara Prefecture to Shingu City in Wakayama Prefecture. In many sections of its lower reaches, it forms the border between Wakayama and Mie Prefectures. Due to the sparse population in the basin, the river water is clean and has a unique emerald green color. (Original) 奈良県の天川村から和歌山県の新宮市までの間を流れる川です。 下流域では和歌山県と三重県の県境を成している区間も多くあります。 流域の人口が少ないこともあり、川の水はきれいで、エメラルドグリーンのような独特の色をしていました。

(Translated by Google) The Kumano River is the main stream of the Shingu River system that flows through Nara, Wakayama, and Mie prefectures and is a first-class river. The downstream basin between Kumano Hongu Taisha and Kumano Hayatama Taisha is registered as a World Heritage Site as part of the "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes of the Kii Mountains." This photo was taken while sightseeing in Kumano Sanzan. (Original) 熊野川は、奈良県、和歌山県および三重県を流れる新宮川水系の本流で一級河川。下流の熊野本宮大社と熊野速玉大社間の流域は、「紀伊山地の霊場と参詣道」の一部として世界遺産に登録されています。 熊野三山観光移動時に撮影しました。

(Translated by Google) It's me! I stopped by Kumano River during my trip to Wakayama! It's a beautiful turquoise blue, or should I say emerald green? Anyway it was very beautiful (Original) 僕です！ 和歌山旅行の際に熊野川に立ち寄りました！すんげ〜綺麗なターコイズブルーといいますかエメラルドグリーンといいますか、、、 とにかくとてもキレイでした

(Translated by Google) I went down the Kumano River. Although we were soaking wet due to the heavy rain, we were able to fully enjoy the charm of Kumano on a boat rowed by a legendary river boatman. It's a wonderful river, so if you go to Kumano, be sure to ride it. (Original) 熊野川川下りをしました。かなりの雨降りでずぶ濡れにならながらの川下りでしたが、川下りの船頭さんのレジェンドの漕ぐ舟で熊野の魅力を堪能しました。素晴らしい川なので熊野へ行ったら是非乗ってください。

(Translated by Google) In the spring of 2019, there was little rain, so the water was flowing cleanly, perhaps because the dam upstream was not cloudy. I hope it doesn't get cloudy like this. (Original) 2019年の春は、雨が少なかったので上流のダムが濁って無いのか、綺麗な水が流れていました。このまま、濁りが入らなければ良いのですが。

(Translated by Google) The color of the water flowing through the river was bluish and it was very mysterious and beautiful. The sight of the river flowing through the deep mountains, thick and gentle, sometimes undulating steeply, seemed to represent the power of the land of Kumano. It was such a charming river that you could almost forget the passage of time if you looked at it for a long time. I would like to visit this river again. (Original) 川を流れる水の色が青みがかっていてとても神秘的で美しかったです。深い山の中を太くも穏やかに、時に険しくうねりながら流れるその姿は熊野の地の力を表しているようでした。ずっと眺めていると時間が経つのを忘れてしまいそうなほど魅力的な川でした。またこの川を見るために訪れたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) 2023.11 Revisited The original winding path of Ichi-no-taki was almost a straight path, following the remains of the old promenade and leftover ropes, but there were trails along the way that seemed to lead directly up, creating a branch. After climbing downstream and changing direction upstream, you will find a mixture of tiger rope and hemp rope on the left once you have climbed halfway up. The slope is steep with some cliff-like parts, so even those who are used to it should be careful. 2021.11 revisit 2019.9　Country 168 If you go south on Prefectural Route 44 from the Shingu direction, you will see a sign just after passing the Takimoto Power Plant and it will be closed as soon as you enter the forest road. Several cars can be parked in front of the road closure barricade. The entrance is steep and depending on the height of your car, you may get scratched, so it's safer to park in a vacant lot along the prefectural road and walk. A few minutes walk along the forest road from the barricade leads to an open plaza with an entrance at the back. After 1-2 minutes you will see Horyu Falls on your left, so cross the wooden bridge on the left and proceed. There is a walking path, but there are some slippery spots and climbing up and down rocks, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. If you walk for about 10 to 15 minutes from the prefectural road, you can reach the basin of Ichi-no-taki. It is truly a famous waterfall, but the prefectural road 44 that leads to it is a continuous bad road from the Shingu direction and Nachikatsuura direction. I still think it's better to go south from Shingu, but it's a tiring road. I think it's better to look at Street View beforehand. There is Ni-no-taki above Ichi-no-taki, but the route to Ni-no-taki is extremely dangerous. (Original) 2023.11 再訪　一の滝の本来の巻き道は旧遊歩道の残骸と残置ロープを辿りながらほぼ一本道でしたが、途中直登するような踏跡がついていて分岐ができてしまっていました。下流方向に登って行き上流に向きを変えた後にトラロープと麻ロープが混じっているところは途中まで登ったら左です。崖状の箇所もある急な斜面ですので慣れた方でも十分に注意してください。 2021.11 再訪 2019.9　国168新宮方面から県道44号を南下すると滝本発電所を過ぎてすぐ看板があり林道へ入るとすぐ通行止めになります。通行止めバリケードの前に数台駐車可能です。入口が急ですので車高次第ではこすりますので、県道沿いの空き地に停めて歩いたほうが無難です。バリケードから林道を数分で広場があり奥に入口があり1～2分で宝竜滝が左手に見えてきますので左方向の木橋を渡って進みます。遊歩道らしきものはありますが滑りやすい箇所や岩の昇り降りもあるので、歩きやすい靴、汚れても良い服装は必要です。県道から10～15分ほど歩けば一の滝の滝壺まで行けます。まさに名瀑ですが、ここに至るまでの県道44号は新宮方面からも那智勝浦方面からも悪路が続きます。まだ新宮方面から南下する方がマシな気はしますが疲れる道です。ストリートビューを事前に見ておいた方が良いと思います。一の滝の上に二の滝がありますが、二の滝までのルートは非常に危険です。

(Translated by Google) A tiered waterfall with a drop of 100m that flows into Takimotoya. The lower waterfall is called Ichi-no-taki and the upper waterfall is 50m long. This is a spectacular waterfall that is also called Ura Nachi. About 10 minutes walk from the signboard on the road. You will need to wear comfortable shoes as there are parts of the trail where you will have to cross rocky areas. Ichi-no-taki is a direct waterfall, and you can get close to the basin of the waterfall, but the water is spraying so violently that you will get a little wet even if you are far away. To approach the basin of the waterfall, it is safer to climb up the bushes on the left rather than up the slippery rocky slope. However, when the water rises, it is so intense that it can be scary, so it is dangerous to get close to it. The second waterfall is a tiered waterfall with a basin similar to the lower tier. You can go to the front of the waterfall, but the winding of the first waterfall is unclear and quite difficult, so please think that there is basically no path. The way to wrap it is to attach it from the back right facing the waterfall. If you are going to wear a waterfall, wear something that is easy to move around in and does not expose your skin. Sturdy shoes are required. If you're going to enter the valley from here, it's best to wear rubber shoes. Parking space available. You can park somewhere nearby. Although it is not a very long distance, the road conditions leading to the site are so bad that you might get driving sickness, so please be careful. The wind around the waterfall is difficult and difficult to drive, but there is a great sense of accomplishment when you reach it. The first waterfall alone is enough to satisfy you, so I think it's worth going there. (Original) 滝本本谷に流れる落差100mの段瀑。下段が一の滝で上段が二の滝と呼ばれ各50m。裏那智とも称される豪快な滝です。 道路にある看板から徒歩約10分。 途中道が無くなり岩場を渡るところがあるので歩きやすい靴は必要です。 一の滝は直瀑で、滝壺にも接近可能だが水飛沫が激しいので離れていても少し濡れます。 滝壺へ近づくには滑りやすい岩の坂を登るのではなく左側の藪を登ったほうが安全に近づけます。ただし増水時は恐怖を感じるほど激しい状態なので近づくのは危険です。 二の滝は段瀑で下段とよく似た滝壺があります。滝前へは行けますが、一の滝の巻きが不明瞭でかなり厳しいため基本的には道が無いと思ってください。巻き方は滝に向かって右裏から取り付く感じです。 滝を巻くなら肌を露出させない動きやすい物を。しっかりした靴が必要です。ここから入渓するならラバーの沢靴が良いでしょう。 駐車スペース有り。付近はどこかしら停めれます。 それほど長い距離ではないですが、運転酔いしそうなぐらい現地までの道路事情は悪いので気をつけてください。 滝の巻きは厳しく運転も大変な場所ですが、やはり到達した時の達成感は大きい。一の滝だけでも満足できる所なので、行く価値は有ると思います。

(Translated by Google) From Kumanogawa Town, take Prefectural Route 44 towards Nachi from Koguchi. This is the village of Takimoto. When I asked locals, they only lived in three private houses. There is a signboard for Horyu Falls and Nono Falls near the quiet bridge. Park your car nearby and walk along the forest road for 5.6 minutes. You can see the waterfall. If you look from a distance, you can see that there are 1 and 2 tiers. (Original) 熊野川町は小口から県道44を那智方面に、 滝本の集落です。 地元民に聞くと、住んでいる民家は3軒。 静閑瀞の橋付近に、宝竜滝、野々滝の看板があります。 その付近に、車を停め、林道を歩いて、5.6分。 滝が見えてきます。 遠い目に見ると、1段 2段となっているのがわかります。

(Translated by Google) Horyu Falls is located in Kumanogawa-cho, Shingu City, Wakayama Prefecture. There is no parking lot, so the only option is to park along the road. The entrance gate to the waterfall is closed, so cars cannot enter. There is a walking path leading to the waterfall, so you can get there without getting lost. You can reach the waterfall in about 15 minutes on foot. There is an abundance of water due to the rain. A stepped waterfall with a drop of 105m. Therefore, I was able to get closer and check only the bottom row. You have to either view the upper tier from a distance or wrap around the lower tier to get to the upper tier. You can enjoy the beautiful basin of the waterfall just from the lower tier. (Original) 和歌山県新宮市熊野川町にある宝竜滝。 駐車場はないので、道路沿いに路駐するしかない。滝への入口のゲートは閉じているので車は入ることができない。 滝までは遊歩道があるので迷うことなくたどり着くことができる。徒歩15分くらいで滝に着く。 雨の影響で水量豊富。落差105mの段瀑。なので、近づいて確認ができたのは下段のみ。上段は遠方から眺めるか、下段を巻いて上段へ行く必要がある。 下段だけでも綺麗な滝壺を堪能することができる。

(Translated by Google) It is a famous waterfall in Wakayama, also known as "Ura Nachi". Simply put, it's amazing. There's a rock jump at the end, but if you slip on the moss or rain, you'll be out in a lot of ways. Also, if you go, be sure to go south from the north. The roads are horrible if you come from the south. (Original) 別名”裏那智”とも呼ばれる、和歌山の名瀑です。ただ一言、素晴らしい。最後に岩飛びがあるのですが、苔や雨で滑ったら色々とアウトです。 あと、行くなら絶対に北から南下してください。南から向かうと道路が悲惨です。

(Translated by Google) You can see it after walking for about 10 minutes from the entrance. It was an amazing sight. However, it is difficult to get there using a regular car, so we do not recommend it. If it's a small 4WD. (Original) 登り口より10分程度歩くと見えます。 さすがの景観でした。 ただ、普通の車では行き着く事が困難ですのでお勧めはしません。 小型の4WDなどならば。

(Translated by Google) There is a road to the waterfall from near the Takimoto Power Plant on Prefectural Route 44, but the road is rough for a few hundred meters from the entrance. The end of the road is a plaza where you can see a small portion of the two-tiered waterfall. It's about a 10 minute walk from there to the waterfall basin, but the road in front of the wooden bridge has collapsed. Therefore, you need to be careful. (Original) 県道44号線の滝本発電所近くから、滝への道がありますが、入り口から数百メートルは悪路です。道の終点は広場になっており、二段の滝が少し見えます。そこから滝壺までは、徒歩１０分程度ですが、木橋手前の道が崩落？しているので注意が必要です。

This place is only open 1130 to 130pm so be sure you don’t miss it. Excellent ramen.

Rich broth but does not reek of pork. Broth is thick enough to cling onto the noodles and doesn't stick on your mouth. The Charshu is tender and I could bite it easily even though it was thick. Highly recommend.

No English menu but some photos hanging on the counter were helpful, or google translate could help too. Big serving & ok with tastes. Chewy noodle. Gyoza a little bland. Close 9pm. A few designated parking opposite the shop.

Thoroughly enjoyed my ramen which was absolutely perfect. Quick service and kind owners. No English menu so I used Google image translate.

Delicious gyoza and amazing place!!

Good and cheap food!

The chashu here is so good! If you're looking to eat some great chashumen for less than 900 yen, look no further.
