History
As one of the Kumano Sanzan, its origins lie in primitive beliefs that sanctified Nachi Falls, resulting in the construction of its shrine buildings later than those of the other two shrines. It is said to have been relocated to its current site around the 5th year of Emperor Nintoku's reign. The organizational structure of the Nachi Ichizan (the entire Nachi sacred mountain) is believed to have been formed during the late Heian period.

What visitors say
After climbing the steep mountain paths and stone steps, you are rewarded with a breathtaking view where the vermilion-painted shrine buildings and Nachi Falls create a stunning scene. To reduce the strain on your legs, it is convenient to use the toll road to reach the parking lot next to the main hall. You can experience a solemn atmosphere where nature and faith blend, such as the silence of the cedar forest and the ritual of passing through the hollow of the Great Camphor Tree (Dai-kusunoki).
