History
It is said to have been enshrined in 419 CE (Yūkyō 8), but the exact founding date is unknown. In the early 12th century, during the tenure of Kumano Betto (head priest) Sankai, the Kumano Sanjō Gongen (Three Deities of Kumano) were enshrined, and the site was developed as a sacred place by the Kumano Betto family. In the medieval period, it was referred to as 'Tōai Daikongen' (Great Deity of the Rooster Match) due to the legend of the rooster-matching ritual found in 'The Tale of the Heike.' After being destroyed by fire during a period of war, it was revived in the 17th century.
