Kohechi 小辺路

Koya Town Ito County, Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture and Nosegawa Village, Totsukawa Village, Yoshino County, Nara Prefecture

Running through the central part of the Kii Peninsula from south to north, this pilgrimage route is the shortest route connecting Kumano Sanzan and Koyasan.
As pilgrims had to go through 1,000m high passes such as Obako Toge three times, this is the toughest one in the Kumano Pilgrimage Routes.
