Kumano World Blog Beginnings

I created this blog to bring more attention to the Kumano region of Japan.

20 years ago even very few Japanese knew about Kumano.

Through the efforts of many scholars and average citizens Kumano has finally been recognized as a World Heritage Site and has the only river in the world designated as a World Heritage River.

Historically Kumano was a pilgrimage destination and once you delve into the history of the region you will find it very fascinating.
