Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine and Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Trails (Wakayama, Japan)

he Kumano Hongu Taisha is one of Wakayama Kumano region's three famous shrines. Enshrining its own deity, Hongu Taisha also enshrines the deities of the other two Kumano shrines, Hayatama Taisha and Nachi Taisha, and the sun goddess Amaterasu. It serves as the head shrine of over 3000 Kumano shrines across Japan.

The mark of the Japan Football Association (JFA) is a yatagarasu (three-legged crow).
The symbol is based on the legend of Emperor Jinmu, the first Emperor of Japan, and is a wish that the ball will be guided to the goal.
Even now, people from the JFA and Japanese national soccer players visit the shrine to pray for victory.
