Kamo Shrine
The Kamo Shrines, Kamigamo Jinja (, lit. Upper Kamo Shrine^?) and Shimogamo Jinja (, lit. Lower Kamo Shrine^?) are a pair of Shinto shrines in Kyoto, Japan. They are among the oldest shrines in the country. Both shrines are dedicated to Kamo Wake-ikazuchi, the kami of thunder, and both feature prominently in the Aoi Festival, which occurs in May and involves a procession between the two shrines, horse races, and archery. Alongside with several other shrines, temples and castles in Kyoto, it was designated as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto".Kamo Kyokusui No En #4 / 賀茂曲水の宴 4
