Kifune-jinja, A shrine in Issha 3-chome, Meito Ward, Nagoya City.

Kifune-jinja is a small Shinto shrine in Nagoya that stands quietly among houses and local shops. The grounds feature simple wooden structures, a stone-lined path with trees and lanterns, and a central hall with traditional architecture and a modest entrance.

The shrine's founding year is unknown; until the Edo period it was called Yamanokami or Kifune-myōjin and served as the tutelary deity of Isshiki village in Aichi District. The 1684 shrine tradition records the rebuilding of the main hall, and by the Kansei era a Kifune-myōjin appears on a village map beside Jizō-ji. It was ranked a village shrine in July 1872, incorporated as a religious body in 1952, and a new assembly hall was built on 6 November 1983.

The shrine was long called Yamanokami or Kifune-myōjin and served as the tutelary deity of Isshiki village in Aichi District. It is basically an unattended shrine, but the shrine office opens until about 10 a.m. on the 1st and 15th of each month for the monthly festival. Kanzō-ji temple stands directly to its east.

The shrine is an 8-minute walk from Issha Station on the Nagoya Municipal Subway Higashiyama Line, or about 5 minutes by car from the Nagoya Interchange of the Tomei Expressway. It is normally unattended, but the shrine office opens until around 10 a.m. on the 1st and 15th of each month for the monthly festival. Shrine grounds adjoin Shōzō-ji to the east.

The shrine features a pair of guardian statues called komainu, lion-dog figures with one having its mouth open and the other closed. These ancient figures have been part of the shrine for many generations and are believed to ward off evil spirits.
