Ryuda Shrine
斑鳩町龍田１丁目５−３
A shrine located in Ikoma Town, Nara Prefecture, listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) with the former rank of a prefectural shrine. It has a history of being founded as the guardian shrine of Horyu-ji Temple.
History
According to shrine tradition, Prince Shotoku founded this shrine to enshrine Ryuda Daimyojin as a guardian deity when he established Horyu-ji Temple. The Engishiki Shinmyocho (the Engishiki list of shrine names) records it as 'Ryuda Hiko and Ryuda Hime, two seats,' indicating that the original enshrined deities were Ryuda Hiko-no-kami and Ryuda Hime-no-kami. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism after the Meiji Restoration, the shrine was separated from Horyu-ji Temple and became independent from Ryuda Taisha in 1922 CE (Taisho 11).
