I can’t believe it’s been two years since my last visit to Japan. It seems like such a recent memory. Getting outside of the city centers was very rewarding. I spent about a week in the Wakayama Prefecture visiting both natural wonders and many shrines.

Like this one, Kumano Nachi Taisha. You’ve probably seen photos of its nearby pagoda with Nachi Falls as a backdrop. The grounds of the shrine itself are equally beautiful.
