Kashihara Shrine, Shinto shrine in Kashihara, Japan.
Kashihara Shrine extends across 530,000 square meters at the base of Mount Unebi, featuring traditional wooden structures and a ginkgo-lined entrance avenue.
Emperor Meiji established this shrine in 1890 at the location where Emperor Jimmu, the first Emperor of Japan, ascended to the throne in 660 BC.
The shrine holds the annual Kigensai festival on February 11th, which aligns with Japan's National Foundation Day to commemorate Emperor Jimmu's enthronement.
The shrine maintains daily operations from 5:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with free admission and direct access via multiple train lines to Kashiharajingu-mae Station.
Two wooden buildings from the Kyoto Imperial Palace were transferred to the shrine, with one structure now serving as the main ceremonial hall.
