かみを祀る: A 381-Shrine Atlas
A Japanese-language archive of 381 shrines, organized by deity, shrine rank, architectural style, founding period, prefecture, and annual festival date.
Field notes
The archive uses several overlapping entry points rather than a single chronological list: visitors can move through prefectures, enshrined deities, shrine ranks, architectural forms, founding eras, or festival months. Its current inventory covers 381 shrines, with 380 photographed, and the homepage also tracks near-term festivals such as dates at Ōsaki Hachimangū and Toyokuni Shrine. The operator labels the project alpha and identifies Japanese Wikipedia as the basis for factual summaries.
