賀茂神社, Shinto shrine in Japan

Kamo Shrine in Ukiha centres on a main hall and worship hall rebuilt in 1651, with a secondary Hiyoshi Shrine founded in 1196 on a burial mound and a Miyoshi Shrine tied to Emperor Keikō. The grounds hold a cluster of small subsidiary shrines and a stone called Miyoshi-ishi used in rain prayers.

In 1346, following Emperor Go-Daigo's will, the kami of Kamigamo and Shimogamo shrines in Yamashiro were transferred here and Hatano Sukune Yukikage became the first chief priest. In 1361 Prince Kaneyoshi had the Kamo festival rites performed to pray for peace. In 1579 Otomo Sorin's forces burned the shrine and its subsidiary shrines; three temporary halls were built and 25 subordinate shrines were merged into Kamo Shrine. The main hall and worship hall were rebuilt in 1651.

The shrine's autumn festival, Okunchi, continues the Kamo Festival rite that Emperor Go-Daigo's envoy had performed here in 1361, following the protocol of the Kamo Festival in Yamashiro. The shrine's founding lineage traces to Hata no Sukune Yukikage, who became its first great priest in 1346. Subsidiary shrines hold separate annual festivals, such as Tenman Shrine on 11 January and Kotohira Shrine on the first Sunday of April.

The shrine is easily reached by car with parking available nearby, making it accessible for most visitors. Visit during quieter times for a peaceful experience or during festival periods to witness traditional ceremonies and community gatherings.

The shrine grounds have yielded Jomon pottery, stone tools and clusters of stone coffins, which supporters cite as evidence for the shrine record that Kamo Okami first descended on this spot and, as a yatagarasu, guided Emperor Jimmu eastward. The shrine's founding lineage traces to Hata no Sukune Yukikage, installed as first chief priest in 1346.
