Zeze Jinja (Zeze Shrine)
〒520-0815 滋賀県大津市膳所１丁目１４−１４
A prefectural shrine located in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, with a long history of enshrining the kami of the Imperial Kitchen.
History
When Emperor Tenchi moved the capital to Otsu Palace, this area was designated as an imperial kitchen estate. The shrine's origins date back to the 6th year of Emperor Tenmu's reign, when the deity Mikatsumi-no-Kami was transferred from Yamato Province to serve as the guardian deity of the Imperial Kitchen. The shrine was highly revered by historical figures such as Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Throughout history, it received significant donations and construction projects, including devotion from the Honda clan and gifts bestowed by Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado.
