A shrine enshrining Sakamoto Tamu Maro, known for its major festival to ward off misfortune and as a deity of traffic safety.
History
The shrine's origins date back to 812 CE (Kounin 3), when it was established to pacify the living spirit of Princess Yamato-hime. During the Heian period, it gained reverence as the site where Sakamoto Tamu Maro subdued evil demons. In 812 CE (Kounin 3), prayers to ward off misfortune were conducted by imperial decree from Emperor Saga, leading to its worship as a deity of traffic safety. It was renamed Tamura Jinja in 1887 CE (Meiji 20) and is now famous for its major misfortune-warding festival.

Located opposite a roadside station along National Route 1, the shrine features a vast approach lined with cedar forests and a clear stream flowing through the grounds, creating a mysterious atmosphere. Known as a sacred site for warding off misfortune, it hosts a large-scale Tamura Festival in February. Using the parking lot at the roadside station is convenient. A stream with swimming carp runs along the path from the worship hall to the main hall.
