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.
