Three Shrines on a Tuesday - Part 3

Crossed beams on roof of  Kumano Hongu Taisha

Lantern and Torii gate at Kumano Hayatama Taisha

Each of the Kumano Sanzen shrines was a complex of  interesting (and photogenic) buildings, statues, lanterns, gates, fences with unusual features, each with a meaning in the Shinto/Buddhist tradition.
