The three Kumano shirines are Kumano-niimatsu Shrine (also called Hongu), Kumano-hayatama Shrine (also called Shingu) and Kumano-Nachi Shrine (also called Nachi). Of these shrines, "Hongu" contains the god, Ketsumiko, Hayatamashin is the god of Shingu and the Nachi waterfall is the god of the Nachi Shrine. The existence of the Hongu and Shingu Shrines is described in the records of the Nara Period. However, there is no mention of the Nachi Shrine. In my opinion there was probably a shrine at the foot of the waterfall. Ketsumiko was certainly the god of Hongu untill the middle of the tenth century, but it was not until the latter half of eleventh century that the god, Hayatamashin and the goddess, Musubishin were also enshrined in the Hongu. By the early half of the twelfth century the Shrines, "Goshogu", "Yonshogu", along with corridors, pagodas, the hall of the Buddha etc. were added within the sacred precincts. Hayatamashin was the god of "Shingu" untill the middle of the tenth century, but since then it seems that this shrine added the goddess, Musubishin, and the god, Ketsumiko along with others. As a result of this, this shrine was sacred to eight gods and a goddess by the early half of the twelfth century. In the early twelfth century "Nachi" Shrine was situated on the slopes of Mt. Nachi. This shrine also became as sacred a precinct as "Hong" and "Shingu". The two shrines, "Hongu" and "Shingu" acted in union until the middle of the eleventh century, but "Hongu", "Shingu" and "Nachi" had united their administrations by the latter of the twelfth century.
