About this Shrine

Kameari Shrine, located in Kameari Park, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of fishermen and the sea. The shrine's primary deity, Kami, enshrined is Hachiman, known as the god of war but also revered for his patronage of merchants and sailors. As such, it serves both spiritual and practical needs of those in commerce and maritime pursuits. In 1923, a devastating earthquake struck Kameari, destroying part of the shrine. After rebuilding, the current structure incorporates elements from various historical periods, reflecting the area's rich cultural heritage.
