Isobe-jinja

Isobe-jinja, Shinto shrine in Komatsu, Japan

Isobe-jinja is a Shinto shrine in the Fuchu area of Komatsu, Ishikawa Prefecture, entered through a stone torii. It is a sōja, a provincial shrine where the deities of Kaga Province were collectively worshipped, and it also appears in the Engishiki list as a small shrine of Nomi District. The grounds contain the main hall and a stone lantern.

Isobe-jinja is listed in the Engishiki shrine register as "Isobe Shrine, Nomi District, Kaga Province" and ranked as a small shrine. It served as the sōja of Kaga Province and was also counted as its ichinomiya at times, a claim disputed with Shirayama Hime Shrine. Its influence declined after the Ujō-ji incident of 1176; in 1600 Niwa Nagashige repaired the shrine buildings, and the Kaga domain lords later protected it.

Isobe-jinja stands in Furuho-machi, south of the site of the former Kaga provincial capital, which gave it the alias Funanami-sha. It is a short stop; the grounds are compact, so allow a few minutes to see the main hall and the stone lantern. Check opening conditions locally before making a special trip.

The shrine was once considered a candidate for the ichinomiya of Kaga Province, a claim disputed with Shirayama Hime Shrine. It is also regarded as the sōja of Kaga, and its deity is recorded as Ōmononushi in the Engishiki and old records, though the main enshrined kami is Kushihikatawake no Mikoto.
