Find ichinomiya by deity
The deities of all 120 shrines — 178 of them — taken from each shrine's own website, the prefectural shrine offices and local authorities. Names appear in the spelling each shrine uses.
How we group “the same deity”
Shrines write these names differently. Where the difference is only the honorific ending or an old character form — 大己貴命 / 大己貴神 / 大己貴尊 — grouping them changes nothing, so we do.
But 大己貴命 and 大国主命 are different names for a figure usually taken to be the same, as are 応神天皇 and 誉田別命. Treating those as one deity is an interpretation, not a spelling rule. We group them, and we say so on the page.
Which deities appear where
Counting the deities of 112 shrines by region (the old circuits, gokishichidō), the most widely enshrined is Onamuchi-no-Mikoto, at 17 shrines (14 of them as the main deity), spread over 7 regions: Tōkaidō 4, Tōsandō 4, Hokurikudō 4, San'indō 2, San'yōdō 1, Saikaidō 1, Shin-Ichinomiya 1. That figure groups several names (大己貴命・大国主命・大国主大神・大己貴尊・大己貴神・大那牟遅神) as one deity.
At 28 shrines, every main deity is one found at no other ichinomiya. 62 shrines have a single main deity; the most at one shrine is 9.

How this section counts
- Shrine complexes count once (the four sites of Suwa Taisha, the three of Oyama Jinja, and so on: 112 shrines from 120 pages). The shrine counts in the lists below, and on each deity's page, count every site, so the numbers can differ.
- Main, co-enshrined (相殿) and secondary (配祀) deities all count as enshrined; the main-deity figure is shown separately.
- Reference listings are included. The ninth region is the Shin-Ichinomiya group (6 shrines, including Hokkaido Jingu and Naminoue-gu).
- Every figure is recounted from the deity data on each build.
