The Kumano Kodō (熊野古道)
is a series of ancient pilgrimage routes that crisscross the Kii Hantō, the largest Peninsula of Japan. These sacred trails were and are used for the pilgrimage to the sacred site "Kumano Sanzan" (熊野三山) or the Three Grand Shrines of Kumano:
Kumano Hongū Taisha (熊野本宮大社), Kumano Nachi Taisha (熊野那智大社) and
Kumano Hayatama Taisha (熊野速玉大社).

nanji ナンジ evil spirit
At the 熊野古道 Kumano Kodo there is a very evil monster, also called
ナメキ Nameki or チゴロ渕 Chigoro-buchi.
When Nanji begins to burn, there might be a huge fire from Nameki.
If someone does not strongly believe in the good deities of Kumano and meets Nameji on the pilgrims road, he will be kidnapped and never come back.

oogon butsu 黄金仏
文政8年の春に、熊野本宮社に堤を築こうとして、境内にある大黒島という岩山から採石していた。作業者が休憩したら、巌上の土砂が崩れるが、作業中には崩れない。また多くの烏が集まってきた。心弱い人は逃げだしたが、強い人が作業を続けると、土中から甕が出てきた。その中には黄金の阿弥陀仏が入っていた。
