Kibitsuhiko Shrine (Japanese: 吉備津彦神社, romanized: Kibitsuhiko-jinja), is a Japanese Shinto shrine in Okayama, Okayama in the Chūgoku region of the island of Honshu.[1]
History
The inner shrine was rebuilt in 1697, while most other buildings were reconstructed in 1936 after a destructive fire in 1930.[2]
Kitbitsuhiko Shrine is the chief Shinto shrine (ichinomiya) of Bizen Province.[3] The enshrined kami is Kibitsuhiko-no-mikoto,[1] who was the son of Emperor Korei.[4]
The shrine is one of 50 national shrines of the lowest rank or Kokuhei Shōsha (国幣小社).
