History
It is said to have been established in 419 CE (Year 8 of Emperor Yūgyō's reign), though some aspects of its founding history remain unclear. In the early 12th century, the Kumano Sansho Gongen deities were enshrined, and the site was developed as a sacred place 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-matching ritual described in the Heike Monogatari (The Tale of the Heike).
