熊野古道*ちょっとだけ中辺路 Kumano-kodou-2
八咫烏<Yatagarasu>
熊野速玉神社<KumanoHayatama>
湯の峰温泉前から熊野川沿いの道を新宮までバスで移動。
バスの中には数人の外国人観光客。彼らは船乗りばのある道の駅で下車。
ここから川の熊野古道16km(1時間半)の川下りで熊野速玉神社裏まで
行くようだ。
道の左手には熊野古道最難関と言われる小雲取越.大雲取越の山々が迫っていた。
1時間ほどで新宮に到着。ここからレンターカーで熊野速玉神社〜熊野那智大社に続く大門坂の駐車場へ移動。途中、紀伊勝浦の漁港でまぐろ丼の昼食。
漁港に積まれた見慣れないサイズのトロ箱、マグロサイズなんだろう。
熊野那智大社に続く大門坂は熊野古道をお手軽に味わえる観光地で
門前にはお土産物やさんや食事処で賑わっていた。
那智山最後の長い石段を上ると朱塗の大きな鳥居が現れ、さらに上り詰めると
華やかなの大社が境内を取り囲こみ、そして正面に那智熊野大社が鎮座して
いた。
参拝を終え、その先隣に西国三十三巡礼第一番札所の青岸徒寺にお詣り。
お寺の境内からは望む五重塔と並んで落差日本一の那智の滝が水飛沫を
上げていた。
We took a bus from in front of Yunomine Onsen to Shingu along the Kumano River. There were several foreign tourists on the bus. They got off the bus at the roadside station where there is a boat stop. From here, they took a 16-km (1.5 hour) river cruise down the Kumano Kodo to the back of Kumano Hayatama Shrine. On the left side of the road is Kounodori-koshi, said to be the most difficult part of the Kumano Kodo. We arrived at Shingu in about an hour. From here, we took a rent-a-car to the parking lot of Daimonzaka, which leads to Kumano Hayatama Shrine and Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine. On the way, we had a tuna bowl lunch at a fishing port in Katsuura, Kii. The tuna boxes piled up at the fishing port are unfamiliarly long and thin. They are long and narrow, which is unfamiliar to me.
Daimonzaka, which leads to Kumano Nachi-taisha shrine, is a sightseeing spot where you can enjoy the Kumano Kodo easily, and is crowded with souvenir shops and restaurants in front of the gate. After climbing the last long stone staircase on Mt. Nachi, a large vermilion-lacquered torii gate appeared, and when we climbed further, we found a gorgeous shrine surrounded by the precincts of Nachi-Kumano-taisha, with Nachi-Kumano-taisha sitting in front. After visiting the shrine, we went next door to Seigishikakkoji Temple, the first stop on the pilgrimage to the 33 temples of the Saigoku region. From the temple grounds, we could see the five-story pagoda and Nachi Falls, which has the highest drop in Japan, splashing down from the water.
