Hakuto Shrine, Shinto shrine in Tottori Prefecture, Japan

Hakuto Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Tottori whose worship hall has a steep gabled roof of dark reddish-brown that sweeps forward over the entrance, edged with lighter boards and topped by a vertical finial. A gold-framed plaque with the characters 白兎神社 hangs beneath the gable, and a thick twisted straw rope with white paper streamers and purple cloth hangs across the front. A dark wooden offering box inscribed 賽銭 sits at the base, and a large stone torii gate with a central staircase stands at the foot of a grass-covered slope.

The founding date is unknown; the shrine was formerly called Usagi-no-miya, Ōusagi Daimyōjin and Hakuto Daimyōjin. After destruction in warfare, its deity was moved to Matsugami Shrine on a mountain 10 km south, and Kamei Korenaga, lord of Kano Castle, rebuilt the shrine during the Keichō era (1596–1615). The present honden dates from the Meiji period.

The shrine is named for the Hare of Inaba from the Kojiki, a rabbit that was stripped of its fur and healed here. Because the hare mediated the marriage of Ōkuninushi and Princess Yakami, the shrine is visited by people seeking a specific partner or a deeper friendship. In 2010 it was certified as a Lovers' Sanctuary, and sand sculptures of the myth stand at the approach, renewed in 2011 and 2023.

The approach runs from the stone torii at the foot of a grass slope up a central stone staircase to the shrine. The grounds include the Mitaraiike pond, said never to rise or fall, and a sand sculpture at the entrance themed on the Inaba white rabbit, renewed in 2011 and 2023. The shrine faces the Sea of Japan across Route 9, with Hakuto Beach and Oki Island offshore.

The shrine's trees were designated a Natural Monument in 1937. The main hall's stone base uses kikuza stones carved with a 28-petal chrysanthemum crest, which has led to speculation that the imperial family was involved in the shrine's founding.
