Kumano Hayatama Taisha
The shrine of the vivid vermilion where the river meets the sea.
Situated at the mouth of the Kumano River, this shrine represents purity and youthfulness. Together with Hongu and Nachi, it forms the Kumano Sanzan. It is famous for its giant sacred Nagi tree.
神社歷史緣起
While Hongu is located deep in the mountains, Hayatama Taisha is near the coast. Legend says the Kumano deities first descended onto the nearby massive rock 'Gotobiki-iwa' (Kamikura Shrine) before moving to this new main shrine ('Shingu').
The bright vermilion buildings represent the vitality of life. The shrine holds over 1,000 ancient sacred treasures, earning it the nickname 'Shoso-in of Kumano'.

境內看點
The contrast between the bright orange-red shrine buildings and the surrounding deep green lushness is striking. The 'Nagi-no-Ki' is a massive sacred tree estimated to be 1,000 years old, planted by Taira no Shigemori. Nagi leaves are tough and hard to tear, symbolizing unbreakable bonds and marital harmony.
Don't miss Kamikura Shrine nearby (the original site), situated atop a steep stone staircase on a cliff, featuring a gigantic sacred rock.
重大祭典
The 'Oto Matsuri' on February 6th at Kamikura Shrine is a spectacular fire festival where 2,000 men in white run down the steep stone steps carrying flaming torches, looking like a descending dragon of fire.
