History

The shrine is believed to have been founded around the late Kamakura period to the Muromachi period. It is thought to have originated from the fusion of ancient Iwasaka (rock worship) beliefs centered on Uchido-iwa and Kumano faith brought by Shugendo practitioners. In the past, it was known by names such as 'Uchido (Iwa/Yashiro) Gongen', 'Kumano Uchido (Iwa) Shrine', and 'Kumano-gu'.

What visitors say

The approach path, surrounded by cedar forests, exudes a solemn atmosphere and offers enchanting scenery. Visiting requires climbing many stone steps; the slope is steep and the footing uneven in places, so physical stamina is required. The precincts include Uchido-iwa, making it a mystical destination visited by many worshippers from both domestic and international locations.
