Nachiyama is one of the Kumano Sanzan. It has a long history as a sacred place of the Kumano faith. It was one of the major Shugen dojo of the Shinto Buddha, but it was separated into the Aoshito-ji Temple and the Nachi Taisha Shrine in the early Meiji era. The temple and shrine are still adjacent, and many people visit both. A tea ceremony ceremony is given to the book-listed Honson Kansei Ongesvara.
