There is also a view that Kii Province, especially Kumano Sanzan (three major shrines, Kumano-Hongu-Taisha, Kumano-Hayatama-Taisha and Kumano-Nachi-Taisha), which had a close connection with Susano, was the Nenokuni due to the description in the myth that Okuninushi went to 'Kinokuni' (the land of Ki) before he visited the Nenokuni.
また、大国主が根の国へ行く前に「木の国」へ行ったとの記述が神話にあることから、紀伊国、特にスサノオとの縁が深い熊野三山であるとする説もある。
