About this sight
Founded over 1200 years ago, this shrine is colloquially known as the "Ise of Tohoku" because of its resemblance to Ise Jingu in Mie Prefecture. The shrine is also considered a "power spot" and is visited by many young people in search of love because of enshrined deities dedicated to matchmaking. (Please note: Kumano Taisha Shrine opening hours vary during festivals and other events.)
