The fusion of Shinto, which reveres nature, and Buddhism, which developed in Japan from its origins in China, gave rise to the faith known as Shugendo, flourishing as a site of syncretism between gods and Buddhas. The first sacred site is the Kumano Sanzan, which includes Kumano Hongu Taisha, Kumano Hayatama Taisha, and Kumano Nachi Taisha. Of the five routes leading to this area, four, excluding the Kii Road, are registered as heritage. The second site, Yoshino and Omine, is a sacred place of Shugendo with mountains over a thousand meters high, and the Ominesan Okugake Road connecting Kumano Hongu Taisha and Yoshino is the steepest of the pilgrimage routes. The third site, Mount Koya, is the headquarters of the Shingon sect founded by Kobo Daishi Kukai at Kongobu-ji and is one of the sacred sites of Japanese Buddhism. Along the pilgrimage route \"Koya Pilgrimage Route - Machiishi Road,\" town stones and village stones are erected for each town and village.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":20583,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-286005","travelpost","type-travelpost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spot"],"acf":[],"permalink_manager":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/286005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travelpost"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/286005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
