Kamo-jinja

Kamo-jinja, shinto shrine in Ichinomiya, Aichi, Japan

Kamo-jinja is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Ichinomiya in Japan. The grounds feature wooden buildings and lanterns surrounding a main hall where visitors ring a bell and clap their hands before making offerings and prayers.

Kamo-jinja's founding date is unknown; tradition places it in the reign of Emperor Kinmei in the 6th century. In 1090 Kamo Wakeikazuchi-no-mikoto was jointly enshrined and the shrine took the name Kamo-jinja. In 1184 Minamoto no Yoritomo issued a ban on samurai violence there, and in 1599 a branch shrine was founded at Minamioi in Mino Province for parishioners cut off when the 1586 Kiso River flood split the district.

The spring in the grounds, Tamanoi Reisui, gave the neighbourhood its name of Tamanoi and is said to have healed the eye illness of Empress Kōmyō; faith in its power to cure eye disease continues today. The shrine was called Kamo Daimyōjin in the Edo period and was the tutelary deity of Tamanoi village in Haguri District.

The shrine is about five minutes on foot from Meitetsu Bisai Line's Tamanoi Station, and the i-Bus Kiso River/Kitagata route stops at "Kamo-jinja Kita". The spring water in the grounds, Tamanoi Reisen, is a designated historic site of Ichinomiya and is still visited by people praying for recovery from eye ailments.

Many visitors draw omikuji, fortune slips that offer simple forecasts. After reading them, people typically tie the slips to a special rack at the shrine, a common practice that connects believers with the place.
