Glossary of Shinto |
Hiromine Shrine (広峯神社) is a Shinto shrine located in Himeji.[1] It is one of the three main shrines of the Gion cult alongside Yasaka Shrine, and Tsushima Shrine.[2]: 123 Until the Muromachi period the shrine was perceived as highly prestigious, on par with Kumano Taisha, but little remains of its past glory.[2]: 124–125 In contrast to other shrines of the Gion cult the shrine is associated with agriculture.
It has branch shrines such as one in Obama, Fukui.[3][4] and many others.[4]
