Himegamisha Shrine, Nara

The Himegamisha Shrine (Japanese: 比売神社, Himegamisha) is a Shinto shrine in the city of Nara, in Nara Prefecture, Japan.

It is built in 1981 by the people of this neighborhood on the tomb called Hime-zuka (princess' tomb) that is estimated to be a burial place of Princess Tōchi, an Empress-consort of Emperor Kōbun.

In 1930s, the Hime-zuka became nation's property and managed by Nara Bureau of Financial Affairs.

They tried to build a shrine and enshrine Princess Tōchi to it, for the revival of this area.

A ground-breaking ceremony was held in the summer of 1980, and a roof-laying ceremony in the end of that year, in cooperation with the Shin Yakushiji Temple and the Kagami Shrine.
