Shibasaki-jinja

Shibasaki-jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Shibasaki-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Abiko, Chiba Prefecture, founded in 938. Its 326-tsubo grounds hold a nagare-zukuri main hall, a nagare-zukuri offering hall, and a worship hall, all dedicated to Amenominakanushi. The shrine was called Myoken-sha until 1862, then Hokusei-sha, and took its present name in 1880.

Tradition holds that the shrine was founded in 938, after Yamato Takeru planted a sacred staff here to pray for safety and success in battle. It later served as a place of prayer for Taira no Masakado. Originally called Myōken-sha, it was renamed Hokusei-sha in 1862 and took the name Shibasaki-jinja in 1880; in 1906 it was designated a shrine receiving offerings of food and cloth. The Yuge family has served as its priests since the Taishō era.

The shrine was once called Myōken-sha, then Hokusei-sha in 1862, before taking the name Shibasaki-jinja in 1880. Its deity is Ame-no-Minakanushi-no-Kami. The grounds cover 326 tsubo, and the Honden and Heiden are both built in the nagare-zukuri style.

Shibasaki-jinja is a five-minute walk north from the north exit of Tennodai Station on the JR Joban Line. The grounds cover 326 tsubo (about 1,080 square metres), with the honden, heiden and haiden standing in a row, so the whole precinct can be seen in a short visit.

The shrine was once called Myōken-sha, then Hokusei-sha from 1862, before taking the name Shibasaki-jinja in 1880. Its deity is Ame-no-Minakanushi, and since the Taishō era the Yuge family has served as its priests. The grounds were refurbished in the late Heisei period.
