Each route on the Kumano Kodo has its own scenery and level of difficulty. It's best to do your homework before you go and pick a route that suits you.

Nachi Waterfall
Kumano-Nachi Taisha is the main shrine of over 4000 Kumano Shrines dotting Japan. This waterfall stands within the holy area, The grandest fall in Japan is 133m-tall, 13m-wide at the mouth, where water begins to fall, and the plunge pool is 10m-deep, and pours over 1 ton/second of water through three wedges which merges as one fall, thus called “Three Stream Fall.”
Getting to visit a World Heritage-level spot like this made the trip totally worth it.

Kairakuen Garden
Built by Mito Domain’s 9th feudal lord, Tokugawa Nariaki. One of Japan’s three famous gardens along with Kenrokuen in Kanazawa and Korakuen in Okayama.
Honestly, if you don't come at the right time, there's really not much to look forward to.

Lake Yamanakako Pleasure Boat “Swan Lake”
Yamanakako, the largest of the Fuji Five Lakes. Once known as the “Princess Odette”, the newly revamped sightseeing boat cruising Lake Yamanakako is now operating as “Swan Lake”. The full route takes 20 minutes, offering a cozy ride as you gaze upon the gorgeous lake scenery and Mt. Fuji above.
The beautiful swan boat with the majestic Mt. Fuji in the background makes for a stunning picture.
