Omiashi Shrine, Shinto shrine in Asuka, Japan.

The Omiashi Shrine stands near ancient temples in Asuka, featuring traditional wooden architecture and ornate religious decorations within its main sanctuary.

The shrine replaced Hinokuma-dera during Japan's architectural transformation period, incorporating elements from both Chinese and Korean design influences.

Regular Shinto ceremonies at Omiashi Shrine maintain connections between local residents and ancestral traditions through specific ritual practices and offerings.

Visitors reach the shrine via a 15-minute walk from Asuka Station, with admission permitted between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM throughout the year.

The shrine's structural elements include locally sourced cryptomeria wood, demonstrating traditional Japanese carpentry techniques from the Asuka period.
