Ikoma Shrine, Shinto shrine in Ichibuchō, Japan

Ikoma Shrine exhibits the Kasuga-zukuri architectural style, featuring specific design elements that represent traditional Japanese religious construction methods and principles.

Archaeological records indicate the shrine's establishment in 458 AD, when Mount Ikoma served as the primary object of devotion for local inhabitants.

The shrine holds ceremonies throughout the year, including the Hi-matsuri fire festival in October, which maintains connections with ancient Japanese traditions.

Visitors can reach the shrine through a five-minute walk from Ichibu Station on the Kintetsu Ikoma Line, with clear directional signs along the path.

The sacred woods from this shrine are specifically selected for use in imperial ceremonies, including the significant Daijosai ritual of the Japanese royal family.
