It seems to become clear by archeological investigation and documents historical materials, picture that the precinct of a Shinto shrine close against the river bank of the Kumano River just follows a position since the twelfth century at the latest. On “an honorific title of a Japanese god mountain,” the existence of many scripture mounds is confirmed, and it is enshrined “Kamikura Shrine” by the hillside. The huge stone (Gotobiki) said that an enshrined deity of Hayatamataisha descended first is believed in as a sanctuary of the welcome festival for the deities returning from Izumo Shrine from the ancient times.
