Vue d'ensemble

Kinomiya Shrine in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture, enshrines three deities — Onamuchi-no-Mikoto, Itakeru-no-Mikoto (the tree deity and son of Susanoo), and Yamato Takeru — and serves as the head shrine of 44 Kinomiya shrines nationwide. According to tradition, in 710 CE a fisherman's net repeatedly caught a sacred driftwood object in Atami Bay; the deity revealed himself in a dream as Itakeru-no-Mikoto and asked to be enshrined away from the noise of the sea. The shrine is celebrated for its 2,000-year-old sacred camphor tree (okususu), a nationally designated Natural Monument with a circumference of approximately 24 meters, which tradition holds will extend one's life by one year for each circuit made around it.
