There are several routes along the Kumano Kodo. The Nakahechi route from Hosshinmon-oji to Kumano Hongu Taisha is pretty flat and easy to walk. You can finish it in just half a day.

Edosei Chinatown Main Store
Always bustling with crowds and often drawing long lines on weekends, Edosei in Yokohama Chinatown has been loved for generations. Established as a butcher shop in the Meiji era, the store has over 130 years of history and is now best known as a specialty shop for Chinese steamed buns.
The moment I took my first bite, the soup burst out and almost burned my tongue! The filling is packed to the brim—no skimping at all.

COREDO Muromachi
A full line up of different restaurants await, from casual and full-on authentic dining, both in Japanese and Western style. Inside you’ll find all the trimmings of good living, including the historic charm of Nihonbashi veteran shops to a modern-day cinema complex. With so much at this all-in-one shopping stop, there’s plenty of crowds drawn here across a wide range of ages.
At Eslite Life, you can find some unique Taiwanese products like Tatung rice cookers and grandma-style shopping bags. Super interesting!

Nachi Waterfall
Kumano-Nachi Taisha is the main shrine of over 4000 Kumano Shrines dotting Japan. This waterfall stands within the holy area, The grandest fall in Japan is 133m-tall, 13m-wide at the mouth, where water begins to fall, and the plunge pool is 10m-deep, and pours over 1 ton/second of water through three wedges which merges as one fall, thus called “Three Stream Fall.”
This is the tallest waterfall in Japan and one of the country's three most famous waterfalls. Legend says the water here is called 'longevity water'—drink it and you'll live longer.
