Kamitsu Shrine

I escaped from the bustling places of Juso, and I was surprised to find a serene spot. The name «Kamitsu» comes from Kami of Kanzaki (the Chinese character «Kan» is also written as «Kami») river and Tsu of Nakatsu river. This shrine is dedicated to nine deities (so many!) and now is worshipped as deities of land, study, industry, good luck and bravery. The outward appearance of the main hall is magnificent. Red color of the pole is brilliant. I prayed I would make success in my business. There was no prayer except me on that day. So the god will never fail to have my wish come true!
Markets sometimes are lined up side by side in the precincts. Neighbor is an open space where prayers can take a rest here if they get tired for worshipping. I saw elderly persons spend relaxing time. Very cozy and comfortable place. After you drink too much, you will open your eye when you come here.
