Kamado Shrine, Shinto shrine at Mount Hōman, Dazaifu, Japan
The shrine comprises two sanctuaries: one at the mountain base and another at the summit of Mount Hōman, connected by a forested trail.
Founded in 673 by Emperor Tenji during the relocation of authority to Dazaifu, the shrine received classification as a first-rank imperial sanctuary.
The shrine venerates Tamayori-bime, mother of Japan's first emperor Jimmu, along with Emperor Ōjin and Empress Jingū as principal deities.
Visitors can walk the six-kilometer mountain trail between the lower and upper sanctuaries, with the round trip requiring approximately five hours.
The shrine office features modern architecture with glass panels and cherry blossom motifs, including benches designed by Jasper Morrison.
