History
The Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) states that Izanami-no-Mikoto died while giving birth to Kagarutsuchi and was buried in Aruma Village in Kii Province. The shrine's name derives from the phrase 'a rock cave where flowers were offered in worship.' Historically recognized as a burial site, it was granted shrine status during the Meiji era. To this day, there are no shrine buildings; instead, a massive boulder (iwase) approximately 45 meters high, facing the Kumano Sea, serves as the sacred object.
