熊野速玉大社
Bright vermilion shrine located on the riverbank, housing a massive, sacred ancient tree.
Located at the mouth of the Kumano River, this bright vermilion shrine contrasts beautifully with the surrounding greenery. It houses incredible ancient spiritual treasures. An ancient Nagi tree on the grounds is considered sacred and a symbol of safe travels.
