三島鴨神社, Shinto shrine in Japan
Mishima Kamo Shrine is a small Shinto shrine in Takatsuki featuring simple wooden structures set in a peaceful setting. The grounds include a main hall, subsidiary shrines, and stone lanterns arranged in a traditional layout that reflects its role as a modest community place of worship.
The shrine was originally built in the Yodo River area and relocated to its current location in 1598 to protect it from flooding. According to historical records, it stands among the earliest places dedicated to the Mishima deities and has been visited by generations seeking spiritual blessings.
The shrine honors two deities believed to protect those who seek good fortune and prosperity in their daily lives. Visitors leave small offerings and prayers, participating in simple rituals that remain woven into how the local community practices its spiritual traditions.
The shrine has parking available on the grounds and is easily accessible by bus from nearby stations. A walk of about ten minutes through quiet neighborhoods will bring you from the closest bus stop to the entrance.
The shrine offers limited-edition Goshuin stamps, special calligraphy marks that visitors collect as proof of their visit and keep in a dedicated booklet called a Goshuin-cho. These stamps are particularly cherished among those who make pilgrimages to multiple shrines.
