Beppyo shrine

Category of Shinto shrine

A Beppyo Shrine, or Beppyō Jinja (別表神社), is a type of Shinto shrine that is considered to be remarkable in some way and thought to be more important than other shrines. This category of shrines was defined by the Association of Shinto Shrines,[1] and it is seen as the successor to the more detailed Modern system of ranked Shinto shrines.

The list is too big to show here, so it only shows a list of important shrines that are not Beppyo shrines. To see a list of Beppyo shrines, please refer to the list in the Modern system of ranked Shinto shrines, which includes all of these shrines plus the ones mentioned below.

Shrines that are not Beppyo Shrines change
