History
Legend holds that in 719 CE (Yorō 3), fishermen pulled the sacred object up from the seabed. They built a shrine on Mount Takadate, where the light from the object ceased to shine, and enshrined it as Haguro Hiryū-shin (Haguro Flying Dragon Deity). Later, when the three Kumano deities were invited to Natori Old Woman Shrine, a branch spirit from Nachi was co-enshrined, and the shrine was renamed Kumano Nachi Shrine. During the early modern period, it received deep reverence from the Date clan, which contributed to the construction of shrine buildings and the donation of shrine land.

Situated on a high plateau, the shrine features a viewing platform with a view of the Pacific Ocean and a swing. Within the shrine grounds, visitors can interact with protected cats and goats. The shrine also offers a wide range of omikuji (fortune slips) and goods featuring the Yatagarasu (eight-span crow) motif. The surrounding area is a residential neighborhood with narrow roads and steep slopes, so wearing comfortable walking shoes is recommended for your visit.
