Susanoo Shrine, A Shinto shrine located in Oaza Tode, Shinichi-cho, Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture.

Susanoo Shrine in Fukuyama is entered through a large pale-grey stone torii with a curved lintel, a central plaque and vertical inscriptions on each pillar. Beyond it stands the honden, a nearly square building in the taisha style with a cypress-bark hip-and-gable roof, said to have been rebuilt by Mizuno Katsunari, first lord of the Bingo-Fukuyama domain. Its roof carries a raised perpendicular ridge, four chigi and seven katsuogi.

Founded around 679, according to shrine tradition, it appears in the Engishiki as Susanoo-no-o-no-jinja of Fukatsu district, Bingo Province, and claims the title of ichinomiya of Bingo. In the medieval period it became a Gion shrine served by the Shingon temple Tennō-ji, and in the Meiji separation of Buddhism and Shinto its deity was restored to Susanoo and the shrine took its present name.

The shrine is the origin of Gion worship and the Gion Festival, called locally "Gion-san" or "Tenno-san". Each July, parishioners from the Shin'ichi, Tode and Sagata districts of Fukuyama and Nakazu in Fuchu hold the festival; Tode and Sagata now join forces for a clash of three portable shrines, the mikoshi-awase. The grounds are said to stand on the estate of Kotan Shorai, brother of the deity Mutou.

The shrine is a three-minute walk from JR Kamitode Station on the Fukuen Line, or five minutes from the Teraoka Memorial Hospital bus stop on Chugoku buses from Fukuyama Station. During the Gion Festival, held in July, traffic restrictions from 19:00 on the final day divert bus routes, and visiting by car is extremely difficult because of the crowds.

Two gates from Sagata Castle, a mountain castle on 199 m Jōyama southwest of the shrine, were moved here; they stand on the north side facing the old Nara-period Sanyōdō road and are counted among the oldest surviving castle gates of the Sengoku period. A castle turret moved with them burned down in a fire in the 1970s.
