About HONGU

The Kumano Sanzan are known as the head shrine of the Kumano Shrines scattered throughout Japan. Among them, Kumano Hongu Taisha stands out for its particularly solemn atmosphere. This place, which has welcomed many pilgrims since ancient times, is still enveloped in deep faith and tranquility, and continues to soothe the hearts of those who visit.

Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine

As an important base that makes up the World Heritage Site "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range," it still exudes a special presence as a place that guides visitors to a "land of rebirth."

Osaibara - Japan's largest torii gate

It is located about 500 meters from the main shrine, a 10-minute walk away. This was once the site where Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine stood, and now the largest torii gate in Japan, standing approximately 34 meters tall, quietly tells the story of its history.

Kumano Kodo

The Kumano Kodo trails are well-maintained and easy to walk even for beginners, allowing you to enjoy trekking at your own pace while experiencing history and nature.
