Kotohira Shrine

Japan

The Kotohira Shrine (, Kotohira Jinja) is a Shinto shrine located in Chūō-ku, Niigata, Niigata Prefecture, Japan. It is the only shrine in Japan that maintains Konpira Daigongen as the main kami. The kami that is worshipped within this shrine has a special description, Japan's only kami of salvation (, Nihon yuiitsu sukui no kami). Due to the shrine being affiliated to the Association of Shinto Shrines, it does not promote any Shinbutsu-shūgō-based practices.
