その名前が示すように熊野古道の歴史は平安時代まで遡るほど古く、時の実力者だった後白河法皇や百人一首の撰者を務めた藤原定家も通った道。

 

熊野三山と呼ばれる「熊野本宮大社（くまのほんぐうたいしゃ）」、「熊野速玉大社（くまのはやたまたいしゃ）」、「熊野那智大社（くまのなちたいしゃ）」と「那智山青岸渡寺（なちさんせいがんとじ）」の三社一寺をつないでいます。 

古の時代より祈りを抱きながら歩いた道は、熊野三山に加え、高野山、吉野大峰といった三カ所の霊場などを含めて「紀伊山地の霊場と参詣道」という名称でユネスコ世界遺産に登録されています。

 

道自体が世界遺産に登録されていることは世界的に珍しく、その魅力は日本国内だけでなく世界中からも旅行客が訪れるほど。平安時代の皇族や貴族が歩き始めた道を、そのまま武士や庶民が引き継ぎ、現在の私たちも同じように通ることができる「熊野古道」は、悠久の時の流れを感じる希少な場所です。
