The river the World Heritage Kumano pilgrimage routes cross. Pilgrims once travelled it by boat, and long sections run through gorge.
When to watch
The Kushimoto Marine Park camera sits below the surface. Unlike the land cameras it barely cares about weather, and it has no season. Rough seas do cloud the water to the point of showing nothing, so avoid it just after a typhoon. The Kuroshio current runs close to Kushimoto, putting it near the northern limit for coral and giving the water a colour you would not expect off Honshu.
The Kumano River is part of the World Heritage site 'Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range', inscribed as a pilgrimage route travelled by river.
