Kibune Shrine, located upstream of the Kibune River, the source of the Kamo River, is a shrine dedicated to the god of water. Many of the gifts, such as the "mizuuri mikuji" (fortune telling lottery), are also associated with water.

The "Nirin-mamori," which is blessed with traffic safety, is also a cute gem with a pop "polka dot" pattern. The colorful design makes it easily noticeable, and if attached to the handlebars of a motorcycle, it can be used as a marker when the bike is parked.

If you are a bicycle or motorcycle user on your way to work or school, why not take this amulet with you to ensure safe driving on a daily basis?
