Kifune-jinja (貴船神社) is located in the village of Kibune (貴船). Although they use the same characters in their names, the shrine now employs the pronunciation 'kifune' as as means to distinguish the sacred from the mundane...a sound with a better feel for the water deities.

Kifune-jinja enshrines Takaokami (高龗神), known also as Kuraokami (闇龗神), a god that can summon clouds, and so presides over rain, sunshine and water in general.
Takaokami is sometimes known as 'Dragon God of the Mountain' and Kuraokami 'Dragon God of the Abyss'.

Tamayori-hime enshrined the deity of water, Takaokami (高龗神), at the spring. To ensure no mortal eyes looked upon her sacred boat she buried it beneath rocks, and the shrine was later constructed above it.
