Tsukimi-ga-oka Shrine

Rituals are carried out here on the same day as the Yu-nobori Festival held at Kumano Hongu Grand Shrine on April 13 every year. To the left of the shrine there is a natural spring with clear, delicious water. Recently, tall cypress trees in this area have had their bark harvested to be used for the new cypress bark roofs of the shrines of Kumano Hongu Grand Shrine in 2011.
