Moto-Sumiyoshi Shrine (本住吉神社, Motosumiyoshi Jinja) is a Japanese Shinto shrine in Higashinada ward, Kobe.

[2] It is one of the biggest shrines in western Kobe.

[3] Moto-Sumiyoshi Shrine holds a danjiri festival annually in May.

It is insisted by the Shrine in its "Chronicle of Moto-Sumiyoshi Shrine" (2000), based on Kojiki-den written by Motoori Norinaga, that the head of Sumiyoshi Shrine originally moved from this Shrine to Sumiyoshi Taisha because Moto-Sumiyoshi Shrine has "Moto-" which means "the Head".
