History
Ōmuta Kumano Jinja is a shrine that has long been located in Kunugi-no. It enshrines the deities of Kumano and is said to have been established through the transfer of worship from the three mountains of Kumano. Affectionately known as "O-Kumano-san" by the local people, it has continued to watch over this land through the generations. As a shrine that has gathered the faith of many people alongside Ōmuta's development of agriculture and commerce, its serene grounds provide a sacred space that purifies the hearts of all who visit.
