List of Shikinaisha in Aki Province

This is a list of Shikinaisha in Aki Province. That is the shrines in the Engishiki Jinmyōchō in the province. These shrines are also known as the Three Great Shrines of Aki Province,[1] because they are all Myōjin Taisha, or very important Shrines.

Hayatani Shrine used to be the most important shrine in the Province.[2][3] It celebrated two major festivals: Tsukinami-no-Matsuri and Niiname-no-Matsuri. But the Taira clan supported Itsukushima Shrine, so Hayatani Shrine became less important later.[2] Take Shrine is the Sōja shrine so it worships the gods of both other shrines.[4][5][6]
