Flow of the course

About this spot

Izumo Daijingu Shrine (出雲大神宮), enshrined in Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture (京都府亀岡市), is an ancient shrine known for prayers for good relationships and good health. Backed by lush green Mt. Mikage (御蔭山), the precincts have clear morning air, and passing through the torii gate brings a quiet, refreshing feeling. The path to the main hall is mostly flat, so even families with small children can pray without difficulty. The grounds also have the Manai spring water (真名井の水), and on days when you can draw water, stopping by is recommended. It is a perfect time for the whole family to pray for a safe day before playing at the pool.

Tips

Parking is provided near the precincts. In summer the morning is cooler and easier for praying, so an early time slot right after the gate opens is recommended. If you want to receive a goshuin seal, checking the shrine office hours in advance is reassuring.

Best time to visit

About 45 minutes. The morning, before the sun gets strong, is comfortable
