Himegamisha Shrine, Setsumatsusha shrine in Takabatakechō, Japan.

Himegamisha Shrine stands within a 320-square-foot complex featuring a main hall, stone monuments, and wooden plaque display areas at its entrance.

The shrine emerged on May 10, 1981, following a donation of land to Shin-Yakushi-ji Temple and construction efforts supported by Kagami Shrine.

The shrine maintains ties to Princess Tōchi, an Empress-consort of Emperor Kōbun, through four stone markers representing imperial generations placed near the entrance.

The shrine management operates under Nanto Kagami Shrine, with ceremonial duties conducted by the chief priest from the parent organization.

Local residents initiated the shrine's construction on Hime-zuka, the burial site of Princess Tōchi, to strengthen community bonds in the 1980s.
