Kumano Kodo Nakahechi Day 6: Kii-Katsuura - Shingu
Today marked the final day of my Kumano Kodo Nakahechi pilgrimage. Instead of hiking, I took a bus from Kii-Katsuura to Hayatama Taisha in Shingu to get the last stamp.
I started the day at the Kii-Katsuura port, watching the tuna auction and seeing the fish being dragged away after purchase. Then, I visited the morning market for a fresh seafood breakfast. After that, I took the 35-minute bus ride to Hayatama Taisha. I got my final stamp, completed my pilgrimage, and bought a good health omamori (amulet) to mark the end of the journey.
I really enjoyed my 6-day pilgrimage on the Nakahechi route and plan to explore the other Kumano Kodo trails in the future.
