Sacred sites and pilgrimage routes in the Kii mountain range and the cultural landscapes that surround them has been nominated for addition to the world heritage list, and they will be examined by the World Heritage Committee in 2004. Three Shinto shrines bearing the name Kumano Sanzan and their pilgrimage routes, called Kumano Kodo, are included in this prospective heritage list.” We show that if we connect Kumano Kodo in Wakayama Prefecture with the Kinki Natural Trail in Osaka Prefecture, we could have a new pilgrimage route with a history of more than 1,000 years. It would be possible to make a regional revival plan of the southern Osaka Prefecture based on the above idea using the concepts of non-profit regional values, and the key words would include trail, park, nature, sightseeing, history, culture, agriculture, community business, environmental study, and recycling economy.
