Kuwayama Shrine in Kameoka is an old shrine that enshrines the god who pioneered this area.
An old shrine that is said to have been built in 709 (Wado 2). It is said that the enshrined deity, Omi no Takakami, cut open the Kameoka area, which used to be a lake, with a hoe and drained the water to make the land easy for crops to grow. The origin of the company name is that the hoes used at that time piled up like a mountain.
The main shrine, which was rebuilt in 1814 (Bunka 11), is built in the style of two buildings side by side, with Kuwayamagu Shrine, which enshrines Ōki no Kami, on the left, and Hachimangu Shrine, which enshrines Honda Besson, on the right. The Gongen-zukuri main shrine has a majestic atmosphere with Mt. In autumn, it is a famous spot for viewing the autumn leaves, and you can enjoy the changing colors of the approximately 500 trees in the shrine grounds and on the approach to the shrine.
From spring to summer, the green maple leaves are beautiful, and the contrast with the vermilion torii gate is a must-see.
