Kashihara, Nara

Kashihara Jingu

橿原神宮

A broad shrine precinct at the foot of Mt. Unebi in Kashihara. Allow more walking time than for a compact city shrine; getting here from central Nara is a separate journey.

What to see

  • The spacious outer worship area
  • The setting below Mt. Unebi
  • The shrine approach from Kashiharajingu-mae

Prayer source

Enshrined kami

Emperor Jinmu · Empress Himetatara Isuzuhime

A short history

Kashihara Jingu was established in 1890. Its worship draws on the account of Emperor Jinmu in the Nihon Shoki; the traditional accession story is distinct from the modern shrine’s foundation.

Before you go

Check the seasonal closing time rather than assuming the same schedule all year. Formal worship inside the enclosure has separate arrangements and fees.
