Kibitsu Shrine, located in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture, is a historic shrine dedicated to Kibitsuhiko-no-Mikoto, and is known as the setting for the Momotaro legend. The main hall and worship hall are connected in a rare architectural style called "hiyoku irimoya-zukuri," and the shrine has been designated a National Treasure. One of the shrine's most famous attractions is the "Narukamashinji," a mysterious ritual in which fortunes are predicted by the sound of a kettle.
