About this Shrine

Located in the city of Hikone, Omi Bige-ya Shrine is a revered Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Omi, also known as Emperor Tameemori, who ruled Japan from 715 to 724. The shrine complex dates back to the Heian period and features a unique five-story pagoda-style roof, a rare architectural style in Japanese Shintoism.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is associated with the legend of Emperor Omi's conversion to Shintoism, and its sacred tree is said to be blessed by the emperor himself. The shrine also hosts an annual festival in June to celebrate the founding of the shrine.
