Welcome to Shi-Yaku-Jin no Hokora
Shi-Yaku-Jin no Hokora is both this virtual online shrine and an actual, small, family-owned,  • Minzoku Neo-Shintô shrine located in the Twin Cities, Minnesota.
It was founded to  calm  the Shi-Yaku-Jin – the four misfortune kami – and mitigate their effects on eastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin.
It is associated with the  • Sacred Cedar Shrine  located in western Wisconsin.
Enshrined within the Hokora are:
  • Baba Yaga
  • Hi-no-Kami
  • Tsuki-no-Kami
  • and the Shi-Yaku-Jin
    • Binbô-no-Kami
    • Ekibyô-no-Kami
    • Kyô-no-Kami
    • Shi-no-Kami

On entering or leaving the hokora, it's polite to bow before passing through the torii.

Take a moment now to renew your mind and spirit before entering.
