Grand Shrine in Shingu (part of the Kumano Sanzan)
Kumano Hayatama Taisha Grand Shrine is one of the Kumano Sanzan, along with Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine and Kumano Nachi Taisha Grand Shrine. Kumano Hayatama Taisha Grand Shrine is said to have been built as a place to worship the gods who had descended to earth on Gotobiki-iwa Rock in Kamikura-Jinja Shrine. The shrine's main deities are Kumano Hayatama no Ohkami and Kumano Fusumino Ohkami, who are husband and wife.
