Ichinomiya

is a Japanese term for the chief Shinto shrines in each of the pre-modern provinces."Ichi no miya/Sōja,"  Encyclopedia of Shinto; retrieved 2012-8-24.

The ichinomiya are the shrines with the highest shrine rank in an area.The provincial ichinomiya sometimes became place names, such as the city of Ichinomiya, Aichi. Shrines of the lower rank are called ninomiya (二宮, second), sannomiya (三宮, third), shinomiya (四宮, fourth), and so forth.

 History 
When prefectures were established in the Meiji period, the old system of provincial ichinomiya was not changed.  Each new prefecture had one or more ichinomiya."Nationwide List of Ichinomiya," pp. 1-3 ; retrieved 2012-8-23.
