After a long walk of Pilgrimage of Kumano Kodo, finally, they reach
the kasuga taisha shinto Grand Shrine.
You ll see three cranes flying together is the ultimate symbol of longevity.
Since cranes fly in the clear blue sky above the dusty earth,
they are also considered symbols of cleanliness and purity.
Spiritually, The crane is a symbol of justice and longevity.
It exhibits the wonder of inner and outer beauty of the self and the world
by means of dancing and creating music. ... In Asian mythology,
crane is sometimes called as heavenly messenger who can travel to the heaven.
The pilgrimage routes that connect them reflect the fusion of Japan's indigenous
religion Shinto, which centers around the worship of nature, and Buddhism, which
was introduced from overseas. The sites and their forested mountain landscape
reflect a tradition of sacred mountains and mountain worship that is
extraordinarily well-documented and has continued for more than 1,200 years.
