The Kumano deities are a group of Shinto gods worshipped primarily in the Kumano region of Japan, particularly at the sacred sites of Kumano Sanzan. These deities are associated with nature, pilgrimage, and spiritual healing, and they play a significant role in the local culture and religious practices. Among the most prominent deities are Kumano Gongen, who represents the divine essence of the three main shrines, and Kumano Nachi Taisha, known for its stunning waterfall. Pilgrims often visit these sites to seek blessings, guidance, and a connection to the divine through rituals and offerings.
