About this Shrine

A Kumano shrine in Fukushima Prefecture dedicated to the powerful deities of the Kumano Sanzan, the three sacred mountains of the Kii Peninsula. Like other Kumano shrines throughout Japan, it serves as a regional center for worship of the Kumano kami and their associated spiritual practices.

Cultural Significance

Kumano worship combines Shinto and Buddhist elements, reflecting the syncretic religious traditions that developed around the sacred Kumano mountains. The Yatagarasu, or three-legged crow, serves as a divine messenger and guide in Kumano mythology.
