The real place

Seiganto-ji stands next to Kumano Nachi Taisha shrine, facing Nachi Falls, which drop 133 m and are the tallest single falls in Japan. The three-storey pagoda in the photo was rebuilt in 1972. The site is part of the Kumano Kodō UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Visiting

Take the bus from Kii-Katsuura station, or walk the last stretch up the Daimon-zaka stone path through old cedars.
