Four Routes into the Sacred Mountains
The Kumano Kodō is not a single trail but a network of four historic routes, each approaching the Kumano Sanzan from a different direction and with a different character.

路線簡介
中邊路是熊野古道各條路線中最神聖的一條,也是與日本宗教史聯繫最為深厚的道路。自10世紀起,歷代天皇、上皇、后妃與貴族便沿此路進行「熊野詣」,朝拜熊野三山。傳說花山法皇在986年退位為遊僧後多次行走此路,使其廣為人知;平安、鎌倉兩朝皇室的參拜次數逾百次。古杉林蔭的石板古道、青苔包裹的王子社、穿林而過的晨霧——這條路是神道信仰與佛教思想在千年中互相滲透的見證。現代旅人走在中邊路上,彷彿步入一個時間重疊的世界,每一步都踩在無數先人的祈禱之上。
