Distance & Time
About 19km, About 7hrs. and 30mins.: From Senmaida-Toritoge-Iriguchi Bus Stop to Shiko Bus Stop
--- hard walk

Summary
After pilgrims walked over Fuden-toge Pass, they walked on Hongu-do toward Yojino-watashi Ferry on Kumano-gawa River and accrossed it by ship to Shiko. This trail goes through mountains in Kiwa, which was famous for a mine. There are still many historical sites about its mine and some are along this trail.
After you walk over many mountains, Kumano-gawa River (a part of the World Heritage) appeared in front of you. Because there is no ferry at Yoji area now, you have to go around to Shiko.
Hard trail with long distance and many up-and -downhills.
