Shinmei-jinja, Shinto shrine in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan

Shinmei-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Funabashi, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, guarding the former Funabashi village. Its main hall was rebuilt in 1992 in reinforced concrete in the shinmei style with a copper roof, after a 1990 arson fire destroyed the previous one. A stone torii dated 1839 stands at the entrance, and the shrine grove of over 3,200 m² is designated a protected tree area by Setagaya Ward.
