Shinmei-jinja, shrine in Funabashi, Chiba

Shinmei-jinja is a Shinto shrine in the Yakuendai district of Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, formerly ranked as a village shrine (mura-sha). Its grounds hold many cherry trees and plenty of playground equipment, which makes the site a regular play area for children from the surrounding neighbourhood.

According to the shrine's own tradition, it was founded around the Horeki era (1751–1764) as the tutelary shrine of the Yakuendai-shinden village. It held the former rank of sonsha, a village shrine.

The shrine's deity is Amaterasu Okami. Each autumn it holds a festival with taiko drumming and song performances on a stage; in 2016 it took place on 15 October. At the end, the chairmen of Yakuen-dai's neighbourhood associations throw mochi rice cakes from the stage into the crowd.

The shrine is in the Yakuendai district of Funabashi, about a 13-minute walk from Yakuendai Station on the Keisei Matsudo Line. The grounds hold many cherry trees and playground equipment, so children often play there alongside worshippers.
