This is the introduction of Nanki-Kumano,
my home country on the southeast of Japan.
This area belongs to the World Heritage sites,
which UNESCO designated as
"Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes
in the Kii Mountain Range," in 2004.
I hope the following information of my own
will help overseas people get to know
about traditional Japanese cultures more and more,
and visit such local areas much more in the future.
