Yoshino Mikumari Shrine, Shinto shrine in Mount Yoshino, Japan.

The main hall of Yoshino Mikumari Shrine combines three separate structures under a single layered bark roof with dormer gables.

Toyotomi Hideyori reconstructed the shrine buildings in 1605 after his father Toyotomi Hideyoshi made prayers for a male successor.

The shrine enshrines six deities related to mikumari, including a wooden statue of Tamayori-hime registered as a National Treasure of Japan.

Located in the upper Kami Senbon area, visitors can access the shrine through a 70-minute walk from Yoshinoyama Station.

The shrine features a wooden owl sculpture near its exit, with origins that remain unexplained to this day.
