It is said that the year of the foundation of Kibune Shrine (貴船神社) is unknown, but according to shrine legend, she was the mother of Emperor Jinmu. Tamayorihime (玉依姫) goes up the Yodo River, the Kamo River and the Kibune River looking for the source of water. It is said that it started when a small shrine was built here. Located at the foot of the Kibune-gawa River and at the source of the Kamo-gawa River, Kibune-jinja Shrine has been worshiped since ancient times as the god of water that protects the water source of Kyoto. The shrine was originally located in the current Okumiya, but it was washed away by a flood of the Kibune-gawa River and moved to its current location in 1055. Kibune-jinja Shrine is also said to be the birthplace of ema.
