Uda Mikumari Shrine, Shinto shrine in Uda, Japan.

The Uda Mikumari Shrine consists of three connected Kasuga-style buildings situated among traditional gardens in northeastern Nara Prefecture.

The main hall of Uda Mikumari Shrine, constructed in 1320 during the final years of the Kamakura period, received National Treasure status for its architectural elements.

The shrine honors Mikumari, a female water deity, through ceremonies that maintain connections between local agricultural practices and spiritual traditions.

Visitors can access the shrine at 244-3 Utano-ken in Uda city, with regular prayer times and ceremonies scheduled throughout the religious calendar.

The shrine features three interconnected buildings in Kasuga architectural style, which represents a structural design uncommon among Japanese religious structures.
