Kashii-gū

Shinto shrines

香椎宮

Kashii-gu in Higashi Ward presents itself as a couple’s shrine tied to Emperor Chuai and Empress Jingu. Official pages relate that Empress Jingu built a shrine for Chuai at Kashii and that later halls for the empress joined it as Kashii-byo, with the site now among Japan’s sixteen chokushi shrines that receive an imperial envoy. The precinct is described as a sacred landscape with mythic landmarks, and prayer and wedding guidance are posted online. Confirm current repair works and reception hours before you visit.
