The new style of Kamidana (household Shinto altar) is well-suited to the era. Offer thanks and pray every day, and cherish those around you. In Japan, it was common to have a Shinto altar in the home for living a peaceful and blessed life. These altars were enshrined as guardians of essential places in daily life and played a role in valuing connections between people. Nowadays, smartphones have become a key aspect of our lives and relationships are increasingly online. So why not enshrine Kamidana on your mobile phone? This application is based on the system of attracting and fulfilling desires through self-coaching, which is one of the customs of worshipping the Shinto altar. With the Kamidana app, you can: ** Choose from various kamidana: You can select from a variety of kamidana that you prefer, including those that do not depend on a particular belief. ** Receive reminders for Osonae (offerings) exchange: The reminder function ensures that you won't forget to exchange offerings to the gods. ** Divine today's fortune: You can divine today's fortune in love, job, and money every day. ** Read today's quote: Quotes from historical figures and famous people are introduced. We choose encouraging words that can positively impact your life. ** Enshrine images: You can put images on the kamidana page. You can also put talismans and enshrine important items on Kamidana. ** Moon-waiting faith: You can track the waxing and waning of the moon. ** Customize worship messages: You can change the worship message as you like when exchanging offerings. Set a message that you want to ask yourself in the morning. ** Write wishes on Ema (votive horse tablet): You can write your wishes on Ema and set a deadline for achieving them, and the remaining days will be shown on the widget. ** Release daily annoyances: This function allows you to release your daily annoyances, evil passions, blame, and sin, and have a relaxing day. ** Express appreciation: "Wake up with hope in the morning, work hard in the noon, and fall asleep with appreciation at night." Express your gratitude and live a healthy and happy life. The Kamidana app is a self-coaching application for living a better life through continuous use. - Terms of Use https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ ## Key features - Choose from various kamidana designs - Receive reminders for offerings - Divine daily fortunes (love, job, money) - Read daily inspiring quotes - Enshrine personal images and items - Write wishes on Ema tablets - Release daily annoyances ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | Premium Plan | $49.99 | per year | | Premium + Quiet Plan | $79.99 | per year | | Premium Plan | $4.99 | per month | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 76) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kamidana-japanese-zen-habit/id1231920500/reviews.md ### 5/5 — I log on every day! *2026-07-29* I absolutely love this app! Though I wish I could reread the negative thoughts I wrote. Right now, once you write and submit the negative thought you want to banish, you can't reread it. I also wish it would incorporate AI into it. For example, I wish I could talk to an AI-based Shinto priest. I would make the $80 payment just to support this app! I wish it was more popular so I know it won't go away! I looked on the website and found some information on the Shinto religion. I wish I could read these articles on the app. I'll even buy books through this app. It's one of the few Shinto apps on the market so I'd love it if I could fully learn and connect to the religion through the app. Finally, maybe redesign the app image to be more gender-neutral. Right now it's veering feminine with the lavender color. I'm a girl, and I identify as a woman, but I like gender-neutral things. ### 4/5 — Overall great *2026-07-24* I really like this app and I use it daily. However, I don't like that the developer keeps locking items either for paid users or by spending shide. The shrine fox gives you shide for visiting and I visit almost daily. I have been using this app every day for over three years and I only have 17 shide so I have no idea how long it would take to rack up 50 so you can buy the fox a temporary flower. Things like that take my enjoyment away a little. Other than that it is very cute and calming! It gives me a notification for something on the 23rd day but I can never read the full notification. I like the omamori too. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Why I like Kamidana *2026-07-08* It starts my day by dedicated my 1st thing, wake up — with a prayer in purest energy. It teaches me what the day is good for and that narrows down alot of stress for me ### 2/5 — なんのお守りかわからない *2026-04-26* いつからかお守りをいただいた時に、何のお守りをいただいたのか表示されなくなり、お守りを一つひとつタップして、今回はこれが貰えたんだと探さなくてはわからなくなりました。 以前のように鈴が10個たまってお守りがいただけたら、どのお守りを貰えたか表示していただけるように戻していただけると有り難いです。 (2026.4.26.) お守りをタップして開いて眺めている時に、誤って「お守りをあげる」をタップしてしまうことがあります。 誤ってタップしてしまった時でも、そのままお守りをあげてしまうことがなく、もう一度「お守りを本当にあげますか？」みたいに、確認画面が出てくれるようになると、そそっかしい自分には大変有り難いです。 大事にしたかったお守りがなくなってしまうと結構ショックです… ご検討をよろしくお願いいたします。 (以前のレビュー) ### 1/5 — Illegal adverts *2026-02-16, version 9.26.1* The app is good but the adverts played (for an extra bell or a fortune cookie) contain extreme violence and sexualisation. It's the most extreme I've ever seen. For this reason I give 1 star. ### 5/5 — 新たな自分達に変わるべき *2026-01-31* 怒鳴ったり喧嘩したり相手側のつ愛情表現力行動光善お願いします大善 相手を理解して認めて安心幸せ大善 自分も理解できるし信じて認めていけるから安心 、常識は相手の意見を聞いて同調できること至。大善。人ね話は聞いてあげて話す至。３つのコをを大切にして話す大善、言葉のコ 心のコ、コう動、行動のコ、話す基本は３つのコをバランス 善くコトバ言葉にココロ心を乗せて込めてコウドウ行動する善愛相手サイトに立った言い回しを心がける事大善 誰も教えてくれないお詫びの正しい言い方⁈心から謝れる人は必ず成長す大善。考えて話すその習慣をしっかりする至。言葉遣いは心づかいが基本中の基本至大善。 ### 2/5 — 品物少ない *2025-12-14, version 9.20.0* 灯りがつくのはどんなとき？不明。 勉強中の意味は？ 品物少ないから増やして。３つしか置けないの不満。 紙垂が増えないぞ。旅先の多くが不明。 色々改良してください。 ････と送信したのに何週間も無反応。 レビューの意味あるのか？ ### 4/5 — プレミアムプラン会員より *2025-12-14, version 9.20.0* 裏庭でもらえる鈴をもう一つもらえる時の広告を廃止して欲しい。もしくはもっとまともな広告を流すようにして。 「こんひま〜」とかいうやつとても気持ち悪くて朝からすごく不愉快な気分になります。そして広告時間１分は長い。そんなに時間割けられません。 ### 5/5 — Awesome Shinto app *2025-11-05* Very lovely app if you’re exploring Shinto beliefs! I love how minimalist it is; so many spiritual apps of this sort tend to be bloated or over-rely on AI, which honestly makes this app a breath of fresh air. The minimalist design allows for a lot of creative freedom and meditative practices, which are all important tenets of my own Shinto beliefs. ### 5/5 — 入れなきゃ損する。 *2025-10-26, version 9.17.2* 神棚すぎる。 良いところありすぎて書けない。 悪いところは強いて言えば広告見なきゃできないものが多いこと。 （始めたばっかだから変なこと言ってるかも） でもそれでサ終したらギャン泣き案件。だからできたらで良いです。 あとちょーっと課金要素多いかも？ 無課金がこんなこと言ってすみません！ 追記・裏庭でお稲荷様をタッチした時に何か言ってくれたらなーって思いますが良いところだらけなので結果オーライです。 ## Frequently asked questions about Kamidana ### What is Kamidana?
