Mist and clouds hang low above Nachi Falls, the tallest waterfall in Japan, and our last stop on the Kumano Kodo. 💦
Yunomine is a hot spring town along the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route, where you can enjoy the thousand year old public baths or boil eggs in the river (as you can see people doing in this photo). It’s thought that bathing here gives pilgrims spiritual cleansing. 🛁 Can’t speak to that but the water was hot and relaxing after a few days of hiking! 🥾
On the up and up along the Kumano Kodo hiking trail ⛩
Things I can get behind: tatami mats, sleeping on the floor, robes and slippers, onsens, rice and fish at every meal, kind people, and epic mountain views. Japan,  you are pretty unique. 🇯🇵
