Izumo-Taisha-Kyoto-bun'in

Izumo-Taisha-Kyoto-bun'in, Shinto shrine in Japan

Izumo-Taisha-Kyoto-bun'in is a shrine of the Izumo Taishakyo organization in Kameoka, Kyoto Prefecture, moved here from within Kyoto city in 1993. Its worship hall is built in the taisha-zukuri style and faces toward Izumo Taisha, so worshippers pray in that direction. Behind the main hall stands the Nakayama Ryu Shrine, dedicated to the dragon-serpent deity believed to serve Okuninushi no okami.

The shrine is a branch of Izumo Taisha, moved from Kyoto city to Kameoka in 1993 (Heisei 5) and rebuilt there as a bun'in of Izumo Taisha-kyo. It enshrines a divided spirit of Okuninushi no okami, the deity known for matchmaking and good fortune. Its worship hall is built in the taisha-zukuri style, oriented so that worshippers face toward Izumo Taisha.

The shrine venerates Okuninushi no okami, known as the deity of matchmaking and good fortune, whose divided spirit was moved here from Izumo Taisha. Annual rites include the Saitan-sai on 1 January, the Ryujin-sai on 11 July honouring the dragon-serpent deity, and the Grand Festival on 23 November. Behind the main hall stands Nakayama Ryu-jinja, dedicated to the dragon-serpent, messenger of Okuninushi.

The shrine is about 10 minutes by car from the nearest station and can be easily explored on foot. The grounds are free to access year-round, with the shrine office open from late morning to late afternoon if you need information or have questions.

It is sometimes called "Moto Izumo," meaning "original Izumo," because of its traditional connection to the land and deities. This name helps distinguish it from other similar shrines in the region and underscores its special place in local history.
