Tokei Shrine

Tokei-jinja is a shrine located in Tanabe city near the Kii-Tanabe station.  It is a part of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route - Tokei means "fighting roosters." The shrine is part of a world heritage tour into some of the most scenic and sacred parts of Japan. Kumano has been regarded as a place for recovery. 

Pilgrimage to Kumano that is Yominokuni (Hades, the next world after death) cleanses your soul, and when you come out of it, you would have a second life.
