Glossary of Shinto

Izawa Shrine (伊射波神社) is a Shinto shrine in Toba, Mie Prefecture, Japan.

It and Izawa-no-miya both claim to be the same shrine in the Engishiki Jinmyōchō[1] and to be the Ichinomiya (top ranked shrine) of Shima Province.[2]

The shrine has three festivals on January 9, June 7 and November 23. The shrine is sometimes called Shima Daimyōjin (志摩大明神).[3]


The shrine was unranked in the Modern system of ranked Shinto Shrines.[4]


The shrine is located a five-minute walk from Kaminogō Station on the Kintetsu Shima Line.[5]
