	The Kumano Hongū Taisha, literally the Grand Shrine of Kumano, is the first of the three {{Wiki\|Kumano shrine}}s (Kumano Sanzan) and was originally located on a sandbar in the {{Wiki\|Kumano River}}, more than 25 km up from the {{Wiki\|Philippine Sea\|sea}}. For this reason, it was originally believed that the shrine was dedicated to the {{Wiki\|Suijin\|deity}} of water, while others believed that it was associated with the [[sun]] [[Amaterasu\|divinity]], given that {{Wiki\|Yatagarasu}} (three-legged [[Raven\|crow]]) was considered to be the messenger of the sun divinity. In the 11th century, the divinity of the Kumano Hongū was identified as the {{Wiki\|Buddhahood\|Buddha}} {{Wiki\|Amitābha}} (Amida Nyorai), which attracted the faith of the {{Wiki\|Imperial House of Japan\|imperial family}} and the nobles of the {{Wiki\|Imperial Court in Kyoto\|imperial court}}, who sought to be reborn in the {{Wiki\|Pure Land}} after their death. The main {{Wiki\|Kumano Kodō\|pilgrimage}} route that became popular since the late 11th century runs south from [[Kyoto]] through Watanabenotsu (the actual [[Osaka]]), then into the {{Wiki\|Kii Mountains\|Kii Mountain}} from [[Tanabe]], reaching first the Kumano Hongū, then [[Kumano Hayatama Taisha\|Shingū]], and [[Kumano Nachi Taisha\|Nachi]]. There were several buildings at the Kumano Hongū Shrine, but most of them were destroyed in the {{Wiki\|List of disasters in Japan by death toll\|big flood}} of 1889. The remaining four were actually relocated to a site far away from the river. In the meantime, two pavilions were rebuilt on the original sandbank site, called Oyunohara, to worship the deities of the lost pavilions, before the largest entrance gate ({{Wiki\|torii}}) of the shrine in [[Japan]] was erected in 2000.

The Kumano Hongū Taisha, literally the Grand Shrine of Kumano, is the first of the three {{Wiki\|Kumano shrine}}s (Kumano Sanzan) and was originally located on a sandbar in the {{Wiki\|Kumano River}}, more than 25 km up from the {{Wiki\|Philippine Sea\|sea}}. For this reason, it was originally believed that the shrine was dedicated to the {{Wiki\|Suijin\|deity}} of water, while others believed that it was associated with the [[sun]] [[Amaterasu\|divinity]], given that {{Wiki\|Yatagarasu}} (three-legged [[Raven\|crow]]) was considered to be the messenger of the sun divinity. In the 11th century, the divinity of the Kumano Hongū was identified as the {{Wiki\|Buddhahood\|Buddha}} {{Wiki\|Amitābha}} (Amida Nyorai), which attracted the faith of the {{Wiki\|Imperial House of Japan\|imperial family}} and the nobles of the {{Wiki\|Imperial Court in Kyoto\|imperial court}}, who sought to be reborn in the {{Wiki\|Pure Land}} after their death. The main {{Wiki\|Kumano Kodō\|pilgrimage}} route that became popular since the late 11th century runs south from [[Kyoto]] through Watanabenotsu (the actual [[Osaka]]), then into the {{Wiki\|Kii Mountains\|Kii Mountain}} from {{Wiki\|Tanabe, Wakayama\|Tanabe}}, reaching first the Kumano Hongū, then [[Kumano Hayatama Taisha\|Shingū]], and [[Kumano Nachi Taisha\|Nachi]]. There were several buildings at the Kumano Hongū Shrine, but most of them were destroyed in the {{Wiki\|List of disasters in Japan by death toll\|big flood}} of 1889. The remaining four were actually relocated to a site far away from the river. In the meantime, two pavilions were rebuilt on the original sandbank site, called Oyunohara, to worship the deities of the lost pavilions, before the largest entrance gate ({{Wiki\|torii}}) of the shrine in [[Japan]] was erected in 2000.
