Onigajo (KumanoCity)
HigashiKishu
KumanoCityOnigajo is a large rock wall created by uplift from earthquakes, weathering, and wave erosion. In addition to being designated as a national scenic spot and natural monument, it is also registered as a World Heritage Site as part of the "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes of the Kii Mountain Range." There is a promenade for about 1km along the rock wall, and you can enjoy the numerous caves large and small, as well as the strangely shaped rocks. At the top of the mountain, there are castle ruins from the Sengoku period, and there is a hiking course that connects it to Kumano Kodo and Matsumoto Pass. You can see the entire Kumano Sea from the observation deck called Oni-no-Miharashi. There are many cherry blossom trees planted along the hiking trail to the top of the mountain, and in spring, four types of cherry blossoms bloom one after another, pleasing the eyes of tourists who visit for a long time.

Hananoiwaya-jinjaShrine
HigashiKishu
KumanoCityHana-no-Iwaya is mentioned as a ``stage for domestic production'' in the first part of the Age of Gods of Japan's first history book, Nihon Shoki, which was written in 720 (Nara period). This place has an important meaning as the ancient sacred place ``Kumano of Kumano'', which predates the Kumano Sanzan faith, and is truly a place that can be called the roots of the Japanese people. History books mention that the sacred treasures were moved from Hana-no-Iwaya to Hongu Taisha. Just as written in the Nihon Shoki, the annual festival is still held on February 2nd and October 2nd every year, and many people come to worship.
