Vue d'ensemble
Kumano Hongu Taisha is the spiritual heart of the Kumano Sanzan, the three grand shrines of the Kumano region connected by the ancient Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For over a thousand years, emperors, aristocrats, and common people alike made the arduous journey through the Kii Mountains to reach this sacred place, which was believed to be the land of the dead and of spiritual rebirth. The original shrine stood at Oyunohara, a sandbar at the confluence of two rivers, where the world's largest torii gate (33.9 meters tall) now stands as a monument. After devastating floods in 1889, the shrine was relocated to its current hilltop position. The Yatagarasu, the mythological three-legged crow that guided Emperor Jimmu, is the symbol of this shrine.
