Kigami Jinja Shrine

This shrine located in Ota City’s Omori town in Shimane Prefecture enshrines Okuninushi, the guardian deity of the town. The shrine which was in Umaji’s Kigamiyama was moved by the Ouchi clan to Oomorimachi Atagosan in 1434, and the Mori clan moved it to its present location in 1577. One of the sights to see is inside the haiden (worship hall). Sitting at the center of the wooden floor, you can find a colorful “crying dragon” painted above on the ceiling, and clapping your hands together creates an echo as if the dragon was howling. The shrine is famous as a place for matchmaking and there are many offerings of heart-shaped wooden plaques.
