The shrine preserves the architectural style of China's Tang dynasty. It's absolutely stunning and definitely worth a visit.

Out of the three shrines, this one is the largest and most impressive. The atmosphere feels really powerful and sacred.

Because of a major flood during the Meiji era, the shrine was moved to its current higher location. The mountain views here are especially nice.

It doesn't take long to walk up the steps. The air is fresh, and it's a very quiet place.

After the original site was flooded, the shrine was moved here. It's the main Kumano Shrine in Japan and also a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The world's largest torii gate stands right in the middle of the fields, making it look even more impressive.
