Noh Hideyoshi, the famous Japanese daimyo, built the main hall of Kumano-gu in 1557 during the Sengoku period to honor the spirits of the Kumano region. Since then, he and his descendants have continued to serve as the shrine's regents. The shrine is dedicated to the gods of agriculture, fertility, and prosperity.

参拝のヒント
To make an offering to the shrine's kami, visit during the spring season when plum blossoms are in bloom, as this is considered a sacred time for purification and renewal.
文化的背景
The Kumano-gu is deeply connected to Shinto mythology, particularly with the Kumano region's three main shrines: Koyasan, Hongu, and Ozukahara. The shrine hosts various festivals throughout the year, including the Kumano Odori dance performance during the spring, which commemorates the arrival of the gods in the valley.
