Shiratori-jinja

Shiratori-jinja, A Shinto shrine in Habikino, Osaka Prefecture.

Shiratori-jinja is a small Shinto shrine in the Furuichi district of Habikino, Osaka Prefecture. It stands about 150 metres north-east of Furuichi Station on the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line. The shrine was moved to this site in 1784 and enshrines Yamato Takeru, Susanoo and Inadahime, along with two deities merged from Takaya Shrine in 1908.

The shrine first stood on the summit of the Shiratori tomb mound (Karasato Otsuka Kofun) in Ikidani, west of Karasato, and was called Iki-no-miya. It declined in the wars of the Nanboku-cho and Sengoku periods and survived as a small shrine on the peak of Minegatsuka Kofun until the 1596 Keicho earthquake toppled it. In 1784 it was moved to its present site as the tutelary shrine of Furuichi, and in 1908 it merged with the former Engi-shiki shrine Takaya-jinja, which was re-established independently in 1954.

The shrine's name comes from the white bird (shiratori) linked to the tomb of Yamato Takeru, one of its enshrined deities. In 1908 it merged with Takaya Shrine, a shrine listed in the Engishiki, and still honours that shrine's gods, including Emperor Ankan, as co-deities. Takaya Shrine was re-established separately in 1954.

The shrine stands at 1-1 Furuichi, Habikino, about 150 m northeast of Kintetsu Furuichi Station on the Minami-Osaka Line, roughly a two-minute walk. The approach is short and level, so it fits easily into a trip along the Kintetsu line.

The shrine was originally on the summit of the Shiratori-ryō burial mound, the Keiridai-tsuka kofun in Ikidani, west of Keiri, and was called Iki-no-miya. It was moved to its present site in 1784 as the tutelary shrine of Furuichi, after the 1596 Keichō earthquake had toppled its small hilltop shrine on Minegatsuka kofun.
