Himimisaki Shrine
〒699-0763 島根県出雲市大社町日御碕４５５
This shrine is revered as the 'ancestral deity' (Oyagami-sama) of Izumo Taisha (Izumo Grand Shrine) and is commonly known as 'Misaki-san'.
History
It is recorded as Misaki Shrine in the Izumo Fudoki (Provincial Records of Izumo) and as Himimisaki Shrine in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex). The Kami no Miya (Divine Palace) was relocated to its current site in the 13th year of Emperor Annei's reign, and the Hinomiya (Sunset Palace) was moved there in the 2nd year of Tenryaku. During the Edo period, the shrine buildings were constructed in the Gongen-zukuri style, modeled after Nikko Toshogu, by order of the Matsue Domain lord.
