Kamowakeikazuchi Shrine, commonly known as Kamigamo Shrine, is one of the oldest shrines in Kyoto. The shrine is dedicated to "Kamo Betsurai-no-mikoto," a deity who descended from Mount Kamiyama, and is said to have strong power to ward off misfortune and bring good luck. The main shrine and the Gonden are national treasures and there are many important cultural properties. It is designated as a World Cultural Heritage site. The Kuga Shrine, a regent shrine outside the shrine grounds, is said to be blessed for safe transportation and travel, as legend has it that the deity Kamo Kenkakushimikoto transformed into a yatagarasu (crow) and led Emperor Jinmu's army as he entered the land of Yamato.
