Kibitsu Shrine (吉備津神社?), is a Shinto shrine in Okayama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan.[1] The Honden-Haiden is a National Treasure and the sole exemplar of the kibitsu-zukuri style of architecture, although the Soshidō of Hokekyō-ji is now believed to have been modeled thereon.[2][3]
History
Kibitsu Shrine was the chief Shinto shrine (ichinomiya) of Bitchū Province. [4] The enshrined kami is Kibitsuhiko-no-mikoto (吉備津彦命?),[1] who was the son of legendary Emperor Korei.[5]
The shrine was one of 23 sanctuaries in the mid-range of ranked Imperial shrines or Kanpei-chūsha (官幣中社?).[6]
