Designated as a Prefectural Cultural Intangible Properties, Kigami Shrine is very famous for its "Howling Dragon" painting on the ceiling. When you clap your hands directly below the dragon, you will hear your clap echo as if the dragon is howling. The main deity of the Shrine is Okuninushi-no-mikoto (the God of matchmaking) and the architectual style is "Irimoya-zukuri Kawara-buki" that's modeled after Kameido Tenmangu Shrine in Edo(Tokyo).
