Fujikiri-jinja

Fujikiri-jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Fujikiri-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Kazuhabata-chō, Higashiōmi, Shiga Prefecture, on the Chigusa Pass where the old road between Ise and Ōmi ran. It enshrines Tagorihime no Mikoto, Ichikishimahime no Mikoto and Okitsuhime no Mikoto, the three Munakata goddesses, and uses the left three-comma tomoe as its shrine crest. The present hall was built in 1802.

Fujikiri-jinja was founded in 781, when Nakatomi no Kiyomaro is said to have invited its deities. It stood on the road linking Ise and Ōmi, and the Chigusa Pass where it sits later became known as the spot where Sugitani Zenjūbō shot at Oda Nobunaga. The Sasaki clan venerated the shrine and had its buildings maintained; the present hall was built in 1802, and in 1876 the shrine was ranked as a village shrine.

The shrine's name is linked to the Chigusa Pass (千草峠) on the old road between Ise and Ōmi, where the grounds stand. Its annual Fire Prevention Festival (火防祭) is held on 8 January, and the regular grand festival (例祭) on 5 April. Within the grounds is a subsidiary Kasuga Shrine (春日神社).

The shrine stands on the Chigusa Pass, on the old road linking Ise and Ōmi, in the Kōtsuhata-chō district of Higashiōmi. The approach is on foot along this mountain route, so plan for walking terrain rather than a town stroll. The main festival is held on 5 April, and the fire-prevention rite on 8 January.

The shrine holds a special fire prevention festival every January 8, featuring ritual fire ceremonies and offerings passed down through generations. The grounds also contain smaller shrines like Kasuga Jinja, maintained by the local community.
