History

Kamikura Shrine stands as Kumano Hayatama Taisha's shrine, positioned closest to heaven. The steep stone steps leading upward elevate the pilgrim's spirit, bringing their prayers closest to the divine realm. Prayers offered from this lofty place are most directly received by heaven itself.
