| Hananoiwaya Shrine |
In 2004, the shrine was registered as part of the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range by UNESCO.
It is a site of worship for the kami Izanami and Kagu-tsuchi.
The cave is believed to mark the entrance to the underworld where Izanagi attempted to find Izanami after she died giving birth to Kagu-tsuchi.
