Takakamo Shrine is in Kamogami, Gose, Nara Prefecture. It is one of the oldest shrines in Japan and the main branch of shrines such as Kamigamo Shrine and Shimogamo Shrine.

The principle deity worshipped at the shrine is Ajisukitakahikone no Mikoto, the ancient god of the Kamo clan.

Takakamo Shrine was established in a Sankan-sharyu form and was founded in 1543. It is designated an important cultural asset.

The shrine features a bell tower, which is rare in a shrine. The bell was transferred from Kongoji Temple and is still used nowadays for watering rice fields.

Takakamo Shrine is a place famous for the 'Nihon Sakura So' and many people visit here in late April.
