Inazume-jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Inazume-jinja is a Shinto shrine in the Ōkura-Honmachi district of Akashi, Hyōgo Prefecture, ranked as a former gōsha. It enshrines Ōyamatsumi no Mikoto, Iwatsuhime no Mikoto and five other deities. The present main hall was rebuilt in 1979 after a fire in 1977; within the grounds stands the subsidiary shrine Inazume-Hama Ebisu Jinja, dedicated to Kotoshironushi no Kami.

According to tradition, the shrine began when the Iyo official Ochi no Masumi, ordered to suppress an invasion of iron men, prayed to Ōyamatsumi; the god appeared in lightning at Akashi and told him to shoot the invaders' only weak point, the soles of their feet. Masumi killed them and founded the shrine on the spot, originally called Inazuma Daimyōjin, later corrupted to Inazume. The hall burned in 1578 during Takayama Ukon's attack on Ōkuradani Castle and was moved north; it was rebuilt on its original site in 1637 and again after a fire in 1977, completed in 1979.

The name Inazume derives from Inazuma (lightning): legend says the deity appeared in a flash of lightning to help defeat an invader, and the shrine was long called Inazuma Daimyojin. Its autumn festival uses Otokuni Shrine as a temporary resting place for the portable shrine, and the shrine also enshrines the Ebisu deity Inazumehama Ebisu.

Inazume-jinja stands in Ōkura-honmachi, Akashi, near the sites of the former Ōkuradani Castle and the shrine's temporary home to the north. The main hall was rebuilt in 1979 after a fire in 1977, so today's building is recent. The grounds also hold the subsidiary Inazume-hama Ebisu Shrine, dedicated to Kotoshironushi.

The shrine's name comes from a legend: when the invader Tetsujin attacked, the deity Ōyamatsumi appeared in a flash of lightning (inazuma) and told Ochi no Masumi to shoot the sole of the enemy's foot. The shrine was long called Inazuma Daimyōjin, and "Inazuma" shifted over time into "Inazume".
