KUMANOThe Spiritual Heart of Japan

Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine

Kumano Nachi TaishaGrand Shrine

Kumano Hayatama Taisha Grand Shrine

This shrine, with its beautiful sweeping cypress bark roofs, is one of the three main shrines of the Kumano faith. The entrance is up a long flight of stone steps flanked by ancient cedar and cypress trees. The main shrine building is an architectural masterpiece, and there is a treasure hall you can enter for a small fee.

Together with Hongu Taisha and Nachi Taisha, Hayatama Taisha is one of the three great Kumano shrines. According to tradition, pilgrims would sail down the Kumano-gawa river to this shrine after visiting Hongu Taisha. Compared to the latter, the grounds here feel more open and spacious, and the buildings are painted a striking vermilion. The onsite treasure hall has an impressive collection of invaluable art and artifacts.

The Japanese have worshipped nature in its most magnificent forms since the annals of the country’s history. In Wakaayama’s mountains and along the coast, you will find waterfalls, ancient trees and even giant rocks that embody deities. The stunning abundance of nature makes Wakayama one of Japan’s most spiritual destinations.

One of the three great Kumano shrines, this Shinto shrine's religious roots are in the ancient worship of Nachi Waterfall. Between the shrine and neighbouring Seiganto-ji Temple is an 850-year-old camphor tree believed to be home to another deity. Visitors can pass through a hollow section of the trunk and pray at the small altar inside.

Nachisan Seiganto-ji Temple

Seiganto-ji with its picture-perfect pagoda is thought to have been founded in the early 5th century by a priest from India. It is closely tied to Kumano Nachi Taisha Grand Shrine and for a long time the two functioned as one religious institution. The precincts of the temple have magnificent views of Nachi Waterfall, and it is even possible to see the Pacific o� to the south.
