UNESCO World Heritage sites, Kumano Kodo and St. James' Way (Spain), are located in both regions, and for over 20 years, the two regions have worked together to contribute to world peace through youth exchange programs and joint tourism promotion.

Kumano worship has a history of the coexistence of different religions in a syncretism of Shintoism and Buddhism. At the bottom of this belief is the worship of nature. Kumano's respect for nature can send a message of peace to the world.
