Kinomiya Shrine is a historic shrine located in Nishiyama-cho, Atami City, Shizuoka Pref. The enshrined deities are Yamato Takeru no Mikoto, Iso no Takeru no Mikoto, and Onamuchi no Mikoto. The foundation date is unknown, but according to the shrine record, it was built in 711, when a fisherman pulled up a fishnet and found a wooden image of Buddha. Then a boy calling himself Onamuchi no Mikoto appeared and said that if he was enshrined in the hollow of a camphor tree, he would guard the village. In the Nara period, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, who he was appointed shogun and given the task of conquering the Emishi, transferred the deities of this shrine to many places including the Tohoku district to pray for his victory. In back of the main hall stands a large camphor tree, which is a designated Natural Treasure. It is presumed to be over 2,000 years old and is said that the one who makes a circuit of the tree will live one year longer. The name “Kinomiya” originally means “the shrine of a tree,” which indicates that the tree had been worshipped by people in the ancient times.
