Reikyū Jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Reikyū Jinja is a small Shinto shrine located in Shimabara, Nagasaki, featuring a simple wooden structure with a traditional roof. The grounds contain stone lanterns, small statues, and quiet pathways that lead to the main prayer building.

The shrine began after the Shimabara Rebellion when the Kōriki clan, rulers of the area, invited the Tōshō-gū deity Tokugawa Ieyasu to be enshrined here. In 1883 it was renamed Reikyū Shrine after the spirits of seven generations of the Matsudaira (Fukozu Matsudaira) clan, who succeeded the Kōriki as lords of Shimabara, were jointly enshrined.

This shrine honors Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of Japan, and draws visitors who come to pay respect to their ancestors. Small wooden plaques called ema hang throughout the grounds, where people write their wishes and hopes.

The shrine is situated in a park with paved pathways and remains easily accessible throughout. Visitors typically perform a hand-washing ritual upon arrival, so plan to arrive early and allow time to move through the grounds at a relaxed pace.

Within the shrine grounds stand a C12 class steam locomotive, C1201, kept by the Shimabara Railway, and a statue of Ueki Mototarō, the railway's first president and Shimabara's first mayor. The grounds also hold the Shimabara Gokoku Shrine.
