Kamizono Shrine
半田市亀崎町２丁目９２
Known for enshrining a rare 'god of children' in the Tokai region, this shrine is particularly bustling during Shichi-Go-San (the traditional celebration for children's growth). It also hosts the Kamezaki Shio-hoshi Festival, which is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
History
Legend holds that Emperor Jinmu landed here during his eastern campaign, and a small shrine was built at the landing site to venerate the local tutelary deity (Ujigami), marking the shrine's founding. In 1612 CE (Keichō 17), the shrine was relocated to its current site, which is said to contain the well used by Emperor Jinmu. Until the Edo period, it was known as Shimei. In 1885 CE (Meiji 18), it was renamed from Kamezaki Shrine to Kamizono Shrine and elevated to the status of a Prefectural Shrine (Kenja).
