Kumano Hongu Taisha
The spiritual heart of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage, symbolizing rebirth.
The head shrine of the Kumano Sanzan (Three Grand Shrines) and the center of the Kumano faith. Located deep in the misty Kii Mountains, pilgrims have trekked here for centuries seeking salvation and rebirth.
神社歷史緣起
For over 1,000 years, people from retired emperors to commoners walked the arduous Kumano Kodo trails to worship here, a phenomenon known as the 'Ant Procession to Kumano'. The belief was that Kumano is the 'Pure Land' on earth.
Originally located on a sandbank in the river (Oyunohara), a massive flood in 1889 destroyed much of the complex. The surviving buildings were moved to the current hilltop location. The site symbolizes resilience and the power of nature.

境內看點
The current shrine buildings, with their thick cypress bark roofs, exude a rustic, ancient dignity. The atmosphere is profoundly spiritual.
Don't miss 'Oyunohara', the original shrine site nearby. It is marked by the world's largest Torii gate (33 meters tall) standing in rice fields. It is a stunning sight and spiritually powerful spot.
重大祭典
The 'Kumano Hongu Taisha Spring Festival' in mid-April features a procession of fathers carrying their young sons on their shoulders, praying for their healthy growth. In summer, the Yata Fire Festival celebrates the sacred crow.
