Shimogamo Shrine, located in Kyoto, Japan, is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in the country, dating back to the 6th century. Officially known as Kamo-mioya-jinja, the shrine is part of the Kamo Shrines, along with its sister shrine, Kamigamo Shrine. Shimogamo Shrine is dedicated to the deities Kamotaketsunomi no Mikoto and Tamayorihime no Mikoto. The shrine is renowned for its beautiful forested setting in the Tadasu no Mori, often referred to as the "Forest of Truth." This ancient woodland, covering about 12 hectares, is a rare remnant of the primeval forest that once covered the Kyoto basin.
