At the foot of the mountain in Kameoka, this shrine is said to be the strongest god for matrimony in Japan. There's a husband-wife stone knotted by a red rope, and it seems to give us a divine help. If you can find some hiding heart shapes, you may be able to achieve your love!◎It's very old shrine with 1300 years history. The shrine building constructed by Takauji Ashikaga is designated as an important cultural asset. Its cherry blossom in spring and fall foliage in autumn are famous.
You can enjoy Gion-bayashi (traditional festival music), Yamahoko floats that are hardly seen, and food stalls! The main Shijo Street becomes pedestrian precinct from Horikawa to Higashi-Oji.
