A giant camphor tree more than 2,000 years old on the grounds, designated a national natural monument. Legend says that walking once around it adds a year to your life.
Kinomiya Shrine lies on the west side of Atami Station and is Atami's guardian shrine, enshrining deities including Isotakeru-no-Mikoto. Its highlight is the Great Camphor Tree, which is over 2,000 years old and has a trunk about 24 meters in circumference. It is designated a Japanese national natural monument. Legend says that walking around it once adds a year to your life and makes wishes come true, and in recent years it has become a popular power spot. The grounds include a Japanese-style tea house and nighttime illumination. The annual grand festival is held in mid-July and is known as the Kotarō Festival. Entry for worship is free, and the shrine is open all day. It is about a 3-minute walk from Kinomiya Station.
