About this event
The 5th ONSEN Gastronomy Walking in Nachikatsuura, an event to enjoy the food, nature, and hot springs of Nachikatsuura while walking, will be held on Saturday, December 5, 2026. Offering a new experience combining gastronomy tourism with Japan's world-renowned "onsen", this event's concept is "Encounter with every step. Fall in love with every taste." On the approximately 7.5 km course visiting Bentenjima Island, Ojapura, and the World Heritage site Fudarakusan-ji Temple, participants can savor regional flavors provided by local eateries, including fresh raw tuna boasted as Japan's top landing by longline fishing, Kumano beef hamburger steak, and seasonal desserts. To conclude the walk, you can soothe mind and body in Nanki Katsuura Onsen overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Exclusively for event participants, special access is provided to hot spring baths that normally do not offer day-trip bathing. Please enjoy a day touching Nachikatsuura's unique scenery, inspirations, and rich food culture while walking a course that includes parts of the World Heritage Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route.
