Transportation edit

The shrine can be reached by Nichizengū Station on the Wakayama Electric Railway Kishigawa Line.[1]

Overview edit

At the entrance, the Hinokuma Shrine is located on the left side, and the Kunikakasu Shrine is on the right side. Visiting the shrine in Wakayama City, along with Kamayama Jinja and Itakiso Shrine, is called "Sansha Mairi" (visiting three shrines).

History edit

The shrine is one of the oldest in Japan and has deep connections with mythology. The "Nihon Shoki" says that a mirror cast by Ishikori-dome-no-Mikoto before the Yata-no-Kagami, when Amaterasu Omikami hid in Amano-Iwato, is enshrined at the Hinokuma Shrine.

Initially, the shrine was located in Hamanomiya, Mezugori, Nagusa District.

In 1871 (Meiji 4), under the modern shrine ranking system, both shrines were designated as Kanpei Taisha. Currently, the shrine is an independent religious corporation not affiliated with organizations such as the Association of Shinto Shrines.
