Namura Jinja, Shinto shrine in Ryūō, Japan
The shrine complex contains multiple wooden buildings with traditional thatched roofs and includes a sacred forest at its center.
The main shrine building, Nishi-Honden, was constructed in 969 AD to enshrine Kunisazuchi no Mikoto, a deity connected to Mount Kongo.
The shrine maintains a network of 33 branch locations in surrounding villages and serves as a central point for religious ceremonies.
Visitors can reach Namura Jinja by taking a 15-minute drive from Ōmi-Hachiman Station on the JR West Biwako Line.
Every 33 years, the shrine organizes a Grand Autumn Festival that brings together communities from neighboring areas.
