Nishiteru-jinja, Shinto shrine in Mima, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan

Nishiteru-jinja sits just below the 946 m summit of Mount Otaki, on the border of Tokushima and Kagawa prefectures. A stone stairway climbs from the first torii beside the road up to the precinct, where the worship hall and main hall stand in a row along the ridge, joined by the Inari, Kumano and Hachidai Ryuo shrines and a stone sanctuary.

According to shrine tradition, Tsukuyomi sent Tagitsuhime to Mount Otaki to watch over the Yamato region and the Seto Inland Sea, which is the shrine's origin. In the early Heian period Kukai trained on the mountain and installed Nishiteru Daigongen, making it a Shugendo site. It was called Nishiteru Gongen until the early Meiji separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the 1870s, when it became Nishiteru-jinja and was ranked a gosha in 1873.

The shrine is also called Tsuki no Miya, the Moon Palace, and its main kami is Tsukuyomi no Ōkami, with Tagitsu-hime, Tagori-hime and Ichikishima-hime of the Munakata three goddesses as secondary kami. According to shrine tradition, Tsukuyomi sent Tagitsu-hime to Mount Ōtaki to watch over the Seto Inland Sea. A painting of a moon horse by Fukuke Haruyo, completed on 10 November 2019, hangs in the grounds.

The shrine sits just below the 946 m summit of Mount Otaki on the Mima–Takamatsu border. By car, take Prefectural Route 106 past Otakiji Temple to the parking area beside the eastern pass; from there a pair of guardian lions installed in July 2025 marks the east entrance, and about 50 m of path leads to the grounds. The first torii stands by the road, with stone steps continuing up to the shrine buildings, which line the ridge crest one level above the office square.

The shrine is one of the candidate sites claiming to be the Taki Shrine (田寸神社) listed in the Engishiki register of deities. Its grounds hold a komainu lion-dog statue donated in 1843 (Tenpō 14), said to have driven off a wolf attacking a mother and child. The statue was moved below the main hall for safety, and a new stone pair now stands where it once sat.
