Kashiwa Shrine, Shinto shrine in Kashiwa, Chiba Prefecture, Japan

Kashiwa-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Kashiwa, Japan, located a few minutes on foot from Kashiwa Station. The main building follows the Ishi-no-ma-zukuri style, in which a stone-floored corridor connects the worship hall and the inner sanctuary, a form that sets this style apart from other shrine types.

The shrine combines two origins: the Yasaka Shrine was brought from Kyoto's Gion district around 1661, and the Haguro Shrine was invited from the Dewa Sanzan in Yamagata around 1660 to nearby Hagurodai. In 1888 the Haguro Shrine was moved into these grounds, and in 1907 it was merged into the Yasaka Shrine. The hall was rebuilt in 1974, when the name Kashiwa Shrine was adopted; the religious corporation is still registered as Haguro Shrine.

Locals have long called the shrine Ten'nō-sama. Its festival, Setsubun-sai, is held on 3 February, and the grounds also host rakugo storytelling performances. The shrine was formed by merging the Haguro and Yasaka shrines, and its religious corporation is still registered as Haguro Jinja.

The shrine sits close to the east exit of Kashiwa Station and is easy to reach on foot. The grounds are compact, so a visit takes only a short time and fits naturally into a walk around central Kashiwa.

The shrine's registered religious name is still Haguro Jinja, a remnant of its identity before the 1974 renaming to Kashiwa Shrine. Within the grounds stands a ginkgo tree estimated at over 300 years old, older than the 1888 transfer of the Haguro deity to this site.
