Okay so right now I'm in the Kumano area and I'm about to do the Kumano kodo.

I'm sorry, I'm not about to do the Kumano kodo.

We don't have time to Monaco to actually takes about 5 to 6 days to do.

Um But unfortunately I'm only here until three p.m. Today which is not that much time.

So instead we're gonna be taking a car and going to some specific spots and looking at the three main shrines of Kumano kodo.

There's actually a bunch of different routes that you can take for the Kumano kodo but no snow.

Oh uh right now I'm standing at the entrance of the Kumano kodo which is tacky G.

So yeah, it completely starts from this point.

The route we're taking today is the main route or the middle route.

But there's a bunch of different ones that you can take.

The way that you can get here is you can take a bus from keith and obesity and they'll take you directly here.

There's like an information place to get some snacks and to get some sticks you get everything that you need and then you can get started also a big shout out to Tampa Bay City Kumano Tourism Bureau.

Thank you so much for bringing me out here sponsoring this video and uh let me check out the Kumano kodo.

But yeah we gotta go let's get started, go see some shines, get a bento, do some hiking.

So if you're doing the criminal code a it's good to have a bento to take with you.

But you can't just go and pick up a bento from anywhere.

The best thing to do is to talk to your guest house or the place that you're staying and organize the bento there and they'll order it for you.

I think one of the main things with the Kumano kodo is doing a lot of planning beforehand.

It's not something that you can really just turn up and do.

If you want some more help planning you can go to the link in the description down below.

There's a lot of help with english if you want to plan your trip.

Oh yeah we got the bentos and we got a friend to take with us.

I feel like the trail also this is the first time she showed in this video.

So we've come here to pick up the bentos.

Usually the bentos would be delivered to the hotel of the best place that you're staying at.

We have stopped in Sang India which also exists in Tokyo but it's completely different.

Let's get three grand shrines that were gonna be visiting.

So we have a bunch of different kinds of rice balls and chopsticks.

If you guys haven't seen, I did another video in Kumano yesterday where I got to make some chopsticks.

I managed to make two that are slightly uneven.

I feel like if I had just walked a long way this would hit the spot so amazingly.

You know, I feel like food always tastes better after you've done a lot of exercise.

The main themes of like the Kumano kodo rebirth and purification.

I don't know if I've ever, have I been on a spiritual journey before.

I'm trying to think it could be really cool to just be alone and just gun it out and do your best and go through the journey that you need to go through it and it would be pretty amazing.

You can just focus on yourself which is so real, especially like your job, he always needs to connect with the world.

It's a great opportunity to have this as our job but at the same time we kind of need this for our personal experience.

Yeah I'm gonna keep eating and then we're gonna head to the next place.

So you would think that the trail comes down here and then comes all the way through the gate.

But actually the trail originally that, that's just because the trail originally goes through here.

There's such fancy masks to, oh my gosh, they got the common on bird.

There's actually four main gods shown here.

The other texture that we're going to visit represent some of these gods, all of the gods that you can visit on the criminal code or are actually here as well.

If you can't do the full common avocado, but you still want to go and pay your respect to the gods.

You can come here and you can see all of them.

This is the coming of and that's his sister over in the fire one over there And then his parents are here.

Normally you can't film in here by the way.

Yes, there's this crow symbol everywhere.
