Kamichigama Shrine (Sessha)
名古屋市熱田区神宮1丁目1−1
A Sessha (subordinate shrine) located within the precincts of Atsuta Jingu (Atsuta Grand Shrine), it is commonly known as the "Deity of Wisdom" and is venerated as a god of wisdom. It is particularly famous for the "Hatsu Ebisu" (First Ebisu) festival held every year on January 5.
History
According to shrine tradition, it was founded in 647 CE (Taika 3), though this is not definitively confirmed. Before the Edo period, it was called Genzaitaifu Shrine. It was relocated to its current site in 1949 due to urban redevelopment. In the mid-Edo period, it was identified as the "Kamichigama Shrine" listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) under Aichi District, Owari Province.

Located in a quiet area away from the bustle of Atsuta Jingu, it offers a serene atmosphere for worship. The shrine is characterized by its dignified presence, flanked by Oukuninchi Shrine and Kunitokotachi Shrine on either side. During the Hatsu Ebisu festival on January 5, it is crowded with visitors, and lucky items such as kumade (lucky rakes) are sold.
