Ōmi Shrine, Shinto shrine in Ōtsu, Japan
The Ōmi Shrine features traditional Japanese architectural elements including red-painted structures, torii gates, and purification troughs spread across a forested area.
Constructed in 1940 to commemorate the 2600th anniversary of Emperor Jinmu's accession, this shrine honors Emperor Tenji who moved Japan's capital to Ōtsu in 667.
The shrine maintains a collection of poem monuments featuring inscriptions of tanka and haiku works by notable writers including Matsuo Bashō.
Visitors can access the shrine from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the treasure hall requiring an entrance fee of 300 yen for adults and 150 yen for children.
The Omi Jingu Tokei Museum within the shrine grounds houses Japan's first clock collection, including examples of traditional water clock systems.
