The Kumano Hongu Taisha is one of Wakayama Kumano region’s three famous shrines. Enshrining its own deity, Hongu Taisha also enshrines the deities of the other two Kumano shrines, Hayatama Taisha and Nachi Taisha, and the sun goddess Amaterasu. It serves as the head shrine of over 3000 Kumano shrines across Japan.
The history of Hongu Taisha goes as far as the 9th century and was located by the bank of Shingu River. Due to massive floods in 1889, the shrine was moved from its original location at Oyu no Hara to its present location one kilometer away. In front of Oyu no Hara (Oyunohara) stands the biggest torii gate in the world which is 33 meters tall.
