LOCATIONA Treasure of Nature and HistoryThe Kamigamo Area
Stretching north along the scenic Kamo River, the Kamigamo area is blessed with rich natural beauty.
At its heart stands Kamigamo Shrine (Kamo-wakeikazuchi Shrine), one of Japan’s oldest shrines with origins tracing back to the age of Emperor Jinmu. Revered for centuries and designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it remains a sacred place attracting many visitors.
The shrine grounds are also famous for cherry blossoms. Highlights include the graceful “Saio-zakura” weeping cherry and the “Gosho-zakura,” which blooms in early April, drawing crowds during the hanami season.
Nearby lies Shake-machi, once the residential quarter of shrine priests. Today, this area is preserved as the Kamigamo Traditional Buildings Preservation District, where rare priestly houses still stand, offering a glimpse into the past.
