[Kyoto Prefecture/Kifune Shrine (Okumiya)] The power of the dragon hole swirls!

Okumiya is located upstream of the Kifune River.
The deity enshrined is Takaokami-no-kami, the same as the main shrine, and is said to be the dragon god who controls rain and stops it, and the god of water sources.

Although it cannot actually be seen with the naked eye,
it is said that there is a huge dragon hole directly below the main shrine.

A very unique feature is the "Funegatishi" (Boat-shaped Stone), a large stone next to the main shrine, and it is said that the "yellow ship" that Tamayorihime-no-mikoto rode on is hidden within this stonework.
The more you look at it, the more it looks like a ship!
