Rokusho-jinja

Rokusho-jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Rokusho-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Myōdaijichō, Okazaki. Its honden, heiden and haiden form a single connected Gongen-zukuri building, rebuilt between 1634 and 1636 on Tokugawa Iemitsu's orders; the shingusho dates from the same works. The rōmon gate was built in 1688. Six main deities are enshrined, with ten more added.

Rokusho Shrine was founded in 1602, when Tokugawa Ieyasu had its honden built and transferred the deities from Rokusho Shrine in Matsudaira county, the Matsudaira clan's homeland. Ieyasu's grandson Tokugawa Iemitsu ordered the shrine buildings rebuilt between 1634 and 1636 on his way to Kyoto, and the rōmon gate was commissioned by Iemitsu's son Tokugawa Ietsuna in 1688. In 1910 the shrine was renamed Takamiya Shrine and ranked a prefectural shrine, then took back the name Rokusho in 1922.

The shrine's annual festival, the Rokusho Shrine Reitai, is held every October; in 2017 the eve-of-festival rite took place on 8 October and the main rite on 9 October. The shrine also holds 83 votive ema tablets, registered as a municipal tangible folk cultural property of Okazaki. Today it is popular with women praying for an easy childbirth.

The shrine is about five minutes on foot from Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line's Higashi-Okazaki Station. The stone steps before the rōmon were historically reserved for daimyō with 50,000 koku or more. The annual reisai is held each October, with a yoimiya eve festival the day before.

The stone steps below the rōmon were reserved for daimyō with an income of 50,000 koku or more until the Meiji Restoration; lesser visitors had to stop at the base. The gate itself was built in 1688 on the order of Tokugawa Ietsuna, grandson of Ieyasu.
