Kamado Shrine
宝満宮竈門神社
A matchmaking shrine at the foot of Mount Hōman. Its name matches that of the protagonist of Demon Slayer, making it a pilgrimage site for anime fans. The autumn foliage approach is beautiful.
Kamado Shrine lies at the foot of Mount Hōman, northeast of Dazaifu City. It was founded in the 7th century and enshrines Tamayori-hime-no-mikoto. It is famous as a shrine of matchmaking, and since ancient times it has also protected the demon gate of the Dazaifu. Because its name matches that of Tanjirō Kamado, the protagonist of the anime Demon Slayer, it has become a pilgrimage site for fans. The amulet office, remodeled in 2012 by designer Masamichi Katayama, has a stylish look that appeals to young people. The autumn foliage within the shrine and its night illumination are beautiful. Worship is free. Getting there: take the community bus 'Mahoroba-gō' from Dazaifu Station for about 10 minutes to Uchiyama (Kamado Shrine-mae).
