Kamigamo Shrine

The Kasagake Ceremony

Kasagake is an ancient Japanese archery event that appears in the Nihon Shoki (Chronicles of Japan). There are two types of kasagake: tokasagake, in which the archer shoots at a 40-centimeter square target about 5 meters away from the horse, and kokasagake, in which the archer shoots at a 10-centimeter square target set up low on the ground. Female archers also ride on horseback. There will be seats for spectators and English commentary will be provided.

Nara no Ogawa (Nara Stream)

 This stream runs through the grounds of the temple. Trees grow thickly along the riverside, creating a beautiful landscape. It is especially beautiful in the autumn season, when the river is covered with a tunnel of autumn leaves.

Kamigamo Shrine

Honden ( The main hall)

The Honden, which enshrines the shrine deity, is designated as a national treasure as it is a typical example of nagare-zukuri, a type of shrine architecture. The “Kage-koma” paintings of komainu (guardian dogs) on the walls of the shrine are also a must-see. It is a valuable picture painted in the Edo period by the Kano school, the largest painting school in the history of Japanese painting.
