Vue d'ensemble
Kamayama Shrine in Wakayama City enshrines Itsuse-no-Mikoto, the eldest brother of the legendary Emperor Jimmu, who according to tradition was struck by an arrow during Jimmu's eastern campaign and died at this site — his burial mound lies behind the main hall. Though listed in the Engishiki (927 CE), all pre-modern records were destroyed when Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces burned the shrine in 1585; it was rebuilt in 1600 and again patronized by the Tokugawa Kishu Domain. In a remarkable trajectory, Kamayama was elevated from village shrine (the lowest rank under Meiji shrine classification) in 1873 to Kanpei-taisha (the highest rank) in 1915 — the only shrine in Japan's modern system to make this complete ascent.
