Hōmangū Kamado Jinja has stood at the foot of Mt. Hōman for over 1,350 years, guarding both the mountain and the ancient city of Dazaifu. Dedicated to Tamayorihime no Mikoto, the deity of matchmaking and protection, the shrine attracts visitors seeking love, harmony, and good fortune. Its three sanctuaries—lower, middle, and upper—are spread across the mountain, connected by lush hiking trails that offer breathtaking views of Dazaifu and beyond. The shrine’s elegant modern architecture, designed by Kengo Kuma, blends seamlessly with its sacred forest surroundings. Whether visiting for prayer, nature, or quiet reflection, Kamado Shrine embodies the union of divine presence and natural beauty that characterizes Dazaifu’s spiritual landscape.
