Kan-sha change
The Kan-sha system, which referred to official government shrines, had two subcategories - Kanpei-sha, also known as government shrines, and Kokuhei-sha, which were national shrines.".[1]
Kanpei-sha change
In 1871, the Japanese government created the Kanpei-sha system to group Shinto shrines according to their relationship with the imperial family. The topmost category comprised of shrines that honored imperial family members, emperors, or those who served the imperial family well. These shrines were viewed as the ones most connected to the imperial family and were backed by the government...[2]
Imperial shrines, 1st rank change
The Kanpei-taisha were the most highly ranked shrines in Japan that were officially designated by the government. There were 67 shrines that held this status, which were closely associated with the imperial family. These shrines were considered to be of great historical and cultural significance, and were often visited by members of the imperial family as well as the general public.[3]
Imperial shrines, 2nd rank change
The middle-level Imperial shrines were called Kanpei-chūsha (官幣中社) and there were 23 of them. They were not as important as the highest-ranked shrines and didn't get as much money from the government...[5]
Imperial shrines, 3rd rank change
There were five shrines that had the lowest rank among the Imperial shrines, and they were known as Kanpei-shōsha (官幣小社).[12]
| name |

| Ōkunitama Shrine.[12] |
| Naminoue Shrine.[12] |
Kokuhei-sha change
The Kokuhei-sha (国幣社) classified the government-supported shrines in a hierarchy, based on their national significance. The kokuheisha, on the other hand, were shrines that enshrined local kami considered beneficial to their respective areas.[2]
National shrines, 1st rank change
The six most highly ranked, nationally significant shrines or Kokuhei-taisha (国幣大社) were considered the top tier of the national shrines.
| name |
|---|
| Nangū Taisha |
| Tado Shrine |
| Ōyamazumi Shrine |
