Insider tip — Aso Onsen in Taiki-cho takes its name from the Aso district of southern Mie Prefecture where the rugged Kii Peninsula coastline meets the ancient pilgrimage routes of the Kumano Kodo. Taiki-cho on the Kumano Sea coast preserves stretches of the Iseji coastal route of the Kumano Kodo World Heritage pilgrimage trail — the ancient road connecting Ise Grand Shrine to the three Kumano Grand Shrines that has drawn millions of pilgrims for over a thousand years through dramatic sea-cliff landscapes and primeval cedar forest.
