Inbe Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Tokushima, Japan.
The shrine is linked to and named after the Inbe clan, who used to rule the region.
It is on the slope of Mount Bizan, and some consider it the Ichinomiya or first-ranked shrine of Shikoku. It is a Beppyo shrine, or a shrine that is particularly notable in a certain way with a significant history to it and a Myojin Taisha. It is linked to the Inbe clan, the first settlers of Eastern Shikoku.
It is located on a hill called Seimi-Yama on the southern end of Tokushima. It is uphill from a Konpira Shrine called Seimi no Konpira.
Their main family shrine is Awa Shrine.
It enshrines Futodama, the ancestor of the Inbe clan.
