Beppyo shrine explained

A Beppyō shrine is a category of Shinto shrine, as defined by the Association of Shinto Shrines. They are considered to be remarkable in some way, and thus given a higher status than other shrines.[1] It is considered the successor to the more detailed modern system of ranked Shinto shrines.

Overview

With the abolition of the state administration of shrines on February 2, 1946, the official system of shrine rankings (modern shrine rankings system) was abolished, and another system was established in 1948 to replace it. After the abolition of the shrine rating system, all shrines were considered to be on an equal footing (except for Ise Shrine). However, since it would be inconvenient to treat the former official national shrines and some of the larger shrines in the same way as ordinary shrines with regard to the advancement and retirement of Shinto priests, the "Regulations Concerning the Advancement and Retirement of Officials and Employees" stipulate that special treatment be given to them. Since these shrines are listed in the Beppyō of the regulations, they are called "Beppyō Shrines".[2]

The Beppyō shrine will be given special treatment in terms of personnel, as follows:

In 1951, the Association of Shinto Shrines issued a notice titled "Selection of Shrines for Beppyō", which outlined the criteria for selecting shrines other than those listed in the government's Beppyō shrine list. The criteria were as follows:

As a result of this provision, the number of Beppyō shrines, mainly former prefectural shrines and Protectorate Shrines designated by the Minister of Home Affairs, has gradually increased to 353 as of 2006.

Beppyō shrine is not a rating of shrines, like the rating of a shrine, but a distinction that concerns only the personnel of the Shinto priests. However, the shrines listed in Beppyō are relatively large in terms of the number of shrines, precincts, and priests, and are generally regarded as a kind of rating. In addition, Ise Jingu is not included in the Beppyō shrine as a separate shrine, and the Grand Priest of Jingu is appointed and dismissed by the Imperial Court according to the "Jingu Rules", which gives it special treatment.
