History
The shrine is said to have been established in 419 CE (Yūgyō 8) by imperial decree, though the exact date of its founding is unknown. In the early 12th century, the Kumano Sansho Gongen (the Three Deities of Kumano in Gongen form) were enshrined, and the shrine was developed as 'Shin-Kumano Gongen Shrine' by the Kumano Bette-dō family. During the medieval period, it was referred to as 'Tōgō Dai-gongen' (Great Gongen of the Rooster Match) due to the legend of the rooster match ritual described in 'The Heike Tale'. After being destroyed by fire during times of war, it was revived in the 17th century.
