Kamafuta Shrine (Iwata-no-Hime-no-Mikoto Shrine)
〒891-0704 鹿児島県南九州市頴娃町別府６８２７
Known by the alternative name 'Kamafuta Shrine', this site is famous for the 'Kamafuta Gan-gake' (pot lid wish-making ritual) and 'Kamafuta Nage' (pot lid throwing). It has a reputation for being powerful in matters of competition and contests, and is also well-known as a power spot.
History
The date of founding is unknown, but it is said to have been established 800 years before the Bunsei period. According to tradition, the shrine originated when locals enshrined a pot lid that was blown away by a sudden gust of wind while rice was being steamed to entertain Emperor Tenji. Although the shrine burned down during the Kyoho period, it was rebuilt. During the Tempoe period, Shimazu Narioki prayed there for the protection of the nation and long-lasting martial fortune.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds face the sea, offering a quiet atmosphere where visitors can worship while listening to the sound of waves. A unique practice involves walking from the torii gate to the main hall with a pot lid balanced on one's head, which is believed to grant wishes. Facilities such as parking, restrooms, and vending machines are available. On the cape, there are photo spots featuring benches shaped like pot lids and spatulas.
