Sumiyoshi Shrine (Shimonoseki)

is a Shinto shrine in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. 

It is the Ichinomiya or top ranked shrine of the former Nagato Province. 

The main festival of the shrine happens every year on December 15.  

It is one of the "Three Great Sumiyoshi Shrines" alongside Sumiyoshi-taisha in Osaka and the Sumiyoshi Shrine in Fukuoka. 

Sumiyoshi Taisha worships the Nigi-Mitama, or placid spirit of the Sumiyoshi kami, but this shrine worships the Ara-Mitama, or rough spirit of the kami.
