About location
Nachi-Katsuura in Wakayama Prefecture is a region where nature and history come together in perfect harmony. Home to UNESCO World Heritage sites like Nachi Falls and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route, it also offers breathtaking coastal views and is renowned as a leading tuna port. Within this area lies the village of Irokawa, a peaceful community of 300 residents, over half of whom are recent arrivals. Known for its organic farming and scenic stone wall landscapes, Irokawa is a haven for those seeking tranquility and a connection to nature.
Ryogonji temple property
Ryogonji Temple, perched high in the mountains overlooking the peaceful village of Irokawa, has long served a guardian-like presence, offering a sense of protection and renewal. Since its establishment in 1857, it has been a place of spiritual significance for the local community for decades.
The temple, along with its distinctive stone stair construction technique, has been recognized as an official Tangible Cultural Heritage site. Perched on a hill, it offers breathtaking panoramic views and, alongside Irokawa village, holds the potential to become a vibrant cultural hub within the Nachi-Katsuura region.
