Hirose Shrine (廣瀬大社, Hirose-taisha), also referred to as Hirose-jinja, is a Shinto shrine located in Kawai, Nara prefecture, Japan.
The shrine became the object of Imperial patronage during the early Heian period.[1] In 965, Emperor Murakami ordered that Imperial messengers were sent to report important events to the guardian kami of Japan. These heihaku were initially presented to 16 shrines including the Hirose Shrine.[2]
From 1871 through 1946, Hirose Shrine was officially designated one of the kanpei-taisha (官幣大社), meaning that it stood in the first rank of government supported shrines.[3]
