Hiyoshi Taisha is a Shinto shrine in Ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan, traditionally dated to 90 BC. Its main deities are Ōkuninushi and Ōyamakui no Kami, and it heads a network of about 3,800 Hiyoshi, Hie and Sannō shrines, the seventh largest in Japan. It is one of the Twenty-Two Shrines. Its buildings follow the hiyoshi-zukuri style.
Oda Nobunaga destroyed the shrine in 1571 along with the Enryaku-ji temple on Mount Hiei. It was rebuilt between 1586 and 1597 under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, with the Nishi Hongū finished in 1586 and the Higashi Hongū in 1595. Both main shrine buildings are National Treasures.
The precinct covers about 400,000 square meters and is a National Historic Site. Its distinctive Sannō torii has a triangular element above the main crossbeam. Five subsidiary shrines stand within it, and many other buildings, including the Romon gate and the Ninomiya Bridge, are Important Cultural Properties.
