Mikami Shrine, Shinto shrine in Yasu, Japan

The main building of Mikami Shrine features white painted walls and an East Asian hip-and-gable roof structure at the foot of Mount Mikami.

The shrine, established in 718 AD by Fujiwara no Fuhito, received recognition as an Imperial shrine of the second rank in 1924.

The Zuiki Festival takes place every October at Mikami Shrine, marking the harvest season with traditional ceremonies and community gatherings.

Visitors can reach Mikami Shrine by taking a 30-minute walk from Yasu Station on the JR West Biwako Line in Shiga Prefecture.

Archaeological discoveries of 24 dōtaku bronze bells at Mount Mikami's base indicate the site held religious importance since the Yayoi period.
