Kumano Shrine (熊野神社, Kumano-jinja) is a historic Shinto shrine in the Miyauchi neighborhood of the city of Nan'yō, Yamagata, in the Tohoku region of northern Japan.

However, an alternative history states that the shrine was built in the late Heian period by Taira no Koremori by order of Emperor Go-Shirakawa.

Two main features of the shrine are a giant tree which locals believe to be several hundred years old, and a traditional tsurigane (釣り鐘) bell.

[citation needed] The Kumano-Taisha festival is held at the shrine each year on July 25.
