Aichi Travel: Children's God "Kamisaki Shrine"

#Aichi Trip #Tourist Spots with a Feeling of History #Photo Guide at Tourist Spots #Shrine Tour #Travel to Experience History and Culture On my trip to Aichi, I visited Kamisaki Shrine, famous as a god of children. Kamisaki Shrine is a shrine located in Kamezaki, Handa City, Aichi Prefecture, and is a very large shrine with the status of a former prefectural shrine. It enshrines Kamuyamatowarehiko-no-mikoto as its deity, and is famous as a rare god of children in the Tokai region. The founding year is unknown, but it is said that Emperor Jimmu landed here from Ise Province when he was on his eastern expedition, and the shrine began when a shrine was built at the landing point. Within the grounds, there is a well (Kami no I) that is said to have been used by Emperor Jimmu. The spring festival, Shiohi Festival, is counted as one of the "Yama, Hoko, and Yatai Events" and was registered as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. It is worth seeing.
