Sea kayak is an excellent ship that will give you a feeling of freedom that can deeply connect with you and the vibes of the sea.
It is very fun to cross the sea and go round the secret spots not accessible by land. Sea perspective overlooking the view of horizon is compelling and impressive; it is a kind of insightful experience. With the sense of realism and a feeling of oneness with the sea is very soothing. There is a deep healing effect to the heart and the body.

●Koyasan Chouishi-Michi pilgrimage trail
world helitage trail
It takes 8-9hours, 20km walk.
When the great buddhist monk “Kuukai””opened Mt. Koya-san, he has put up a wooden stupa along the way so that a person of prayer can walk without needing any guidance. A stone pillar approximately 3 meters in height called “Chouishi” is built every one step (approximately 109 meters) and brings people to the top of the mountain.
People would walk pass every single maker stone with their hands held together in prayer and respect.
Today the site has become a world heritage site as one of the “Kii Mountains sacred sites and pilgrimage”. In addition, the only other pilgrimage way that has become the world heritage is in Spain “Santiago de compostela”. Of course we can easily go to Mt. Koya-san by car, but there is value to venture like a true pilgrim to the Holy Land with the traditional way by foot. 6:00-15:00
