  Heian Period Kanayamahiko-no-mikoto, Fujiwara no Michinaga
| The Kimpu Shrine lies in the Oku-no-sembon district, deep in a luxuriant forest of cedar and cherry trees.
It is dedicated to the guardian god of Mt. Yoshino, Kanayamahiko-no-mikoto. According to Eigamonogatari, a historical tale of the 11th century, Fujiwara no Michinaga (966-1028, powerful statesman of the Heian Period) prayed here at the mecca for mountaineering asceticism and his sutra holder is extant.
