Inbe Shrine[a] is a Shinto shrine located in Tokushima, Japan.[1][2][3]
The shrine is linked to and named after the Inbe clan,[4] who used to rule the region.[5]: 384
It is on the slope of Mount Bizan, and some consider it the Ichinomiya or first-ranked shrine of Shikoku.[4] It is a Beppyo shrine, or a shrine that is particularly notable in a certain way with a significant history to it and a Myojin Taisha. It is linked to the Inbe clan, the first settlers of Eastern Shikoku.[4]
It is located on a hill called Seimi-Yama on the southern end of Tokushima. It is uphill from a Konpira Shrine called Seimi no Konpira.[6]
Their main family shrine is Awa Shrine.[7]
It enshrines Futodama,[8] the ancestor of the Inbe clan.[9][10]
It has a famous weaving hall where the cloth of imperial succession is woven.[11]
While not a part of the Shikoku Pilgrimage it is often attended by pilgrims on the pilgrimage due to proximity to the official 88 sites.[12]
