Next stop: A fire-breathing serpent parades through this Kumano Kodo summer festivalAbout this spot
After finishing your walk along the old pilgrimage route, it's time to return to the roadside station for dinner. As the sun sets over mountain-ringed Nakahechi, the temperature drops quickly and a cool breeze feels pleasant. Enjoy a relaxed meal while preparing to head to the festival venue in Kurusugawa.
Tips
The area around the venue can get crowded on the day, so it's recommended to start heading there soon after dinner. Mountain evenings can be chilly, so bring something to layer on.
Best time to visit
About 2 hours. A cool time around sunset for a relaxed meal
