These two shows have a very similar premise and are inspired by the same type of Japanese legends. They also have the same general feel and aesthetic.
Doki doki romantic potential reverse harem situations with kind plucky female heroine and yokai/ayakashi/spirits/supernatural entities friends. Cherry blossoms and slow-mo kimono flowing scenes at every opportunity.
Similar art style to boot.
Both of these anime are similar in the fact that girls are thrown into a world of youkai and must learn more about them to survive. They both have a fox demon as one of the main characters and both have some kind of contract with the main male character.
The differences are that Nanami is high school age where as Aoi is college age. Also Aoi works at a restaurant in the demon world, while Nanami works as the new Land Goddess. Both have romance in them, but Kamisama Hajimemashita is focused around romance while Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi is more focused on Aoi's interactions

Both stories focus on a girl who is forced to live in the world of/with ayakashi or youkai. Both stories have romantic subplots, although the romance is more prominant in Kamisama kiss.
Both anime have:
- A human female lead who has/gains some kind of power.
- A male lead who is an yōkai or a supernatural creature. (Oni and kitsune in this case).
- A situation that forces the main characters to live together.
- Other yōkai friends joining.
Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi is about a girl who gets to live with yokai and solve their everyday problems, just like in Kamisama Hajimemashita. (Other similiar anime are Fukigen na Mononokean, Natsume Yuujinchou, Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou and Gingitsune).
They have a cozy relaxed everyday feel and you can calm down to them without the need to follow any specific plot, they can be cute but with some serious reflecting and sad moments and they also gives you important insights, values and attitudes about life even though they might be a bit silly sometimes.
Similar theme of normal girl falling into the (Japanese) spirit world with hints of a reverse harem.
In this one she runs a shrine instead of an inn however the focus is on the different spirits she meets and romance.

Kamisama Hajimemashita starts off with an ayakashi/youkai taking MC to the other world and so does Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi. The both MCs are very strong and independent women that has lost their family when they were young. At first both animes shows how the couple does not like each other but later on, throughout the anime, it shows development in their relationships. Somehow, the ayakashi/youkai has connections with MC without MC even knowing that they had. Although the type of ayakashi/youkai is different in these two animes, they are both good looking. Both are very interesting and fun to watch, especially the storylines and the

similar mythology - youkai, ayakashi, tengu, spirits, a helpful fox spirit
A girl gets wrapped up in the spirit world, there's a little romance, a little comedy - just a really heartwarming series.
They both have a very similar energy to them

Both are love stories.
Both have youkai.
Both have kitsune.
Art in both is beautiful.
Both are light-hearted.
I think you will enjoy watching both of these love stories <3
In both there's a kindhearted girl with the ability to not only see but also interact with spirits, they're both romance anime. In each there are not only developing love relationships with the male lead but also developing friendships
these animes have similar plots starting from the supernatural male lead who related to ordinary humans. both anime also have a female lead who is destined to enter into a contract. like Nanami's kamisama who was unwittingly contracted to become an earth God from Mikage and Aoi's kakuriyo who was contracted because of her grandfather's debt. these two anime are so much fun!
