*''Other Names'': 金比羅山 ''(konpira-san)''
*''Japanese'': 金刀比羅宮 ''(kotohira guu)''
Kotohira Shrine, also known as Konpira-san, is a [[Shinto shrine]] in [[Kagawa prefecture]], likely the most famous on the entire island of [[Shikoku]].
The shrine was originally dedicated to Konpira Daigongen, a Japanized version of the Hindu crocodile deity Kumbhira. The shrine is today dedicated to the deity [[Omononushi|Ômononushi no mikoto]], and to the spirit of [[Emperor Sutoku]].
Particularly associated with fishermen and sailors, Konpira-san has long been an extremely popular pilgrimage destination.
