Kamigamo Shrine, also known as Kamo-wakeikazuchi Shrine, was established in 678, making it one of Japan’s oldest Shinto shrines. Nestled in Kyoto, the shrine predates the city’s status as the capital by over a century and is believed to safeguard the city from negative influences. Historically, Kamigamo Shrine hosted four emperors between the 8th and 18th centuries. Today, visitors can explore its serene grounds, which reflect its rich history and spiritual significance.
