About prayer
Prayers were offered at the main shrine, a national treasure, but the main shrine is actually a special area used for public ceremonies such as the Kamo Festival, and is a national treasure that should be carefully maintained as a sacred space for strict rituals.
However, in recent years, the main shrine has been severely damaged by the large number of visitors coming and going.
It was determined that if things continued as they were, it would be difficult to maintain and manage the national treasure that should be preserved for future generations.
Considering the convenience of those who receive prayers,
We are pleased to announce the restoration of the Kamosha Reiden Hall, which was used as a prayer hall from the Heian period until the early Meiji period.
List of prayers

Safety in the home, protection from misfortune, etc.
Prayer fee : from 10,000 yen

Originally, the unlucky age was considered a special age, just like the celebrations of longevity such as kanreki (61 years old) and koki (70 years old). Reaching an unlucky age signifies attaining a certain status in the local community, and one becomes more involved in religious ceremonies, such as joining a shrine or carrying a mikoshi. For this reason, one had to keep one's body and mind pure, and be careful with one's words and actions. It is for these reasons that the "yaku" (misfortune) of an unlucky age is said to represent the "role" of a divine servant who serves the gods.
Prayers for safe childbirth
Prayer fee : from 10,000 yen
Items removed : talismans, amulets, etc.
On the fifth month of pregnancy (the number of days varies depending on the region), people visit shrines to pray for a safe delivery and wrap a cotton belly band (Iwata obi) around the pregnant woman's belly in a ceremony called obi-iwai. This is done on the day of the dog, as it is believed that dogs are fertile, and because they are considered animals that travel between this world and the next, and because dogs bark a lot to protect the home, it is said to ward off evil spirits. In addition to protecting the fetus, the belly band is also said to have religious significance, such as stabilizing the fetus's spirit.
Traffic Safety
Prayer fee : from 10,000 yen
Items removed : talismans, amulets, etc.
We will ward off misfortunes related to the destination for those travelling on the road, ensuring traffic safety, car purification, and safe travels.

Shichigosan is said to have originated from the ancient customs of "Kamioki" at the age of three, "Hakama-gi" at the age of five, and "Obi-hajime" at the age of seven. "Kamioki" was a ceremony for both boys and girls, and it was on this day that they began to grow their hair. "Hakama-gi" was the ceremony where boys put on hakama for the first time, and "Obi-hajime" was the ceremony where girls took off the child-sized strings and put on adult obi.

The first shrine visit of a child is when the child reports the birth to the local deity, gives thanks, and prays for the deity to watch over the child's healthy growth. Generally, it is held on the 31st day for boys and the 33rd day for girls, but this can vary depending on the region.
