ABOUT
About this spot
Located in Hino Town, Tottori, Kamochi Shrine is a sacred site visited by many from all over Japan for "attracting good fortune with money," as its name suggests. Deities who govern good luck, such as Ame-no-Tokotachi-no-Mikoto, are enshrined here. The place name "Kamochi" is said to have come from the area once flourishing as an iron-producing region, and today it is famous as a powerful spot for boosting money luck, winning the lottery and business prosperity. The grounds are surrounded by abundant trees, and as you pass through the torii gate and climb the stone steps one by one, you are enveloped in a sacred air that calms the heart. Popular as proof of your visit are the "yellow handkerchief" and the amulets said to bring money luck, both given out at the amulet office. Many ema votive plaques of thanks for winning "big prizes" have been dedicated, a testament to the shrine's abundant blessings. It is ideal for a weekend drive, a solo trip of self-reflection, or a trip with friends to boost your luck. Forget the bustle of the city and recharge your luck in rich nature. After your visit, checking out the specialty products themed on Kamochi Shrine at the nearby shop is part of the fun.
