Kono Shrine

Kono Jinja (籠神社) is a Shinto shrine in the Ōgaki neighborhood of the city of Miyazu in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.

The shrine was originally called the Manai Jinja (真名井神社), but was renamed in 671 by the 26th generation kannushi to "Kagomiya" or "Kago Jinja" based on the tradition that the god of worship appeared in the snow in a basket.

The main kami enshrined was changed to Amenohoakari in 719 by the 27th generation kannushi, but Toyouke-Ōmikami retained as a secondary object of worship.The shrine and its rituals are described in both the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki.

The shrine is listed in the Engishiki records from the early Heian period, as a Myōjin Taisha (名神大社) and the ichinomiya of the province.

The lower shrine is the Honden and is a Shinmei-zukuri structure with a cypress bark roof.
