Three Shrines on a Tuesday

Kumano Hayatama Taisha Shrine - Shingu



Kunano Hongu Taisha Shrine- Hongu

Kumano Naichi Taisa - Nachisan

The Kumano Kado is also known as the Kumano Sanzan - referencing the three grand shrines (san is three in Japanese) in the Kii Mountains.Originally, each of these three Grand Shrines had their own distinctive form of nature worship; later in the 10th century, they started to give worship to all of the three guardian deities at the same time under the influence of Buddhism.
