Prayer

Prayer at the shrine

Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine

Head shrine of Kumano Shrines throughout Japan

This shrine is one of the three Kumano Sanzan (three shrines of Kumano area), and was formerly a god-like sanctuary far into the remote area of Kumano. It was once known as "Kumanoza Shrine”, meaning the seat of the deities in Kumano. The shrine building itself is made using white wood and has a cypress bark roof, and the grounds are filled with a particularly calm atmosphere even among the Kumano Sanzan. This time, in addition to a special visit and prayer in the inner area of the shrine (where you can worship close to the gods), you will also be able to talk with the chief priest (who doesn’t normally meet with regular visitors) and experience the real Kumano.

Feedback from our clients

The experience of cutting up a tuna is not something you can normally experience. I don’t think it’s available anywhere else, so this was really a special experience for me that I will never forget.

At Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine, having the chance to experience Japanese culture, and praying separate from regular visitors made this a very special trip for me.
