Hiko Shrine (飛行神社) is a Shinto Shrine in Yawata Kyoto. It has a style of a Greek temple and is dedicated to the people who have died in plane crashes.

It was founded by Chūhachi Ninomiya on his own land[1] who was one of the first people in Japan to make airplanes.

It has three altars[2]

  1. The main altar, where Nigihayahi no Mikoto, the sky deity, is worshipped.[2]
  2. The right altar, consecrated to the spirits of those who perished in aviation accidents and to the trailblazers of aviation.[2]
  3. The left altar, which honors famous people from Japan's pharmaceutical industry.[2]


The building was built again in a Greek style in 1989 to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of Chūhachi Ninomiya's flight discoveries.
