Eda Shrine

Eda Shrine, Shinto shrine in Miyazaki, Japan

Eda-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Awakigahara-chō, Miyazaki, entered through a large weathered stone torii hung with two white banners, one inscribed "奉献 江田神社" and dated Shōwa 35 (1960). The shrine stands by the Misogi Pond, northeast of the precinct, where Izanagi is said to have purified himself; the pond was later reclaimed and called "Eda". The grounds also hold the remains of ancient settlements, including the Yayoi-period Aoki site.

Eda-jinja appears in the Shoku Nihon Kōki in 837, when the court granted it official shrine status; the Engishiki lists it as a shrine of Miyazaki district in Hyūga. By 970 it held the top rank of shōichii. The 1662 earthquake and tsunami destroyed its halls, and it declined to a village tutelary shrine until 1873, when it was ranked a prefectural shrine.

The shrine's two deities, Izanagi and Izanami, are called Yabo Futahashira Daimyojin and locally Yabo-sama, a name linked to childbirth. On 30 June, after a portable shrine procession, priests, parishioners and visitors pass through a chinowa reed ring in the Oharae purification rite; a beach purification was once held the night before. Kagura dance is offered at spring and autumn festivals, and a kagura mask dated Keicho 17 (1612) survives.

The shrine sits in a natural setting and can be reached on foot through clearly marked paths that guide visitors to the main hall. Visitors should dress respectfully and follow basic etiquette when entering and moving through the grounds, such as bowing at designated points.

The stone torii at the entrance carries two white banners: the right one records a dedication dated 11 November, Shōwa 35 (1960), and names Eda Shrine, while the left names the shrine's support association. The nearby Misogi Pond, northeast of the hall, is held to be where Izanagi purified himself, and the old inlet was later reclaimed and called Eda.
