*''Japanese'': 板聞神社 ''(hirakiki jinja)''
Hirakiki Shrine is a [[Shinto shrine]] located in southern [[Kyushu]], between Lake Ikeda and the volcanic mountain [[Kaimondake]].
It is mentioned in the 10th century ''[[Engishiki]]'', and has long been regarded as the number one shrine (''ichinomiya'') in [[Satsuma province]].
[[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryukyuan]] visitors to Satsuma regularly prayed at Hirakiki for safe voyages, and the treasure house at the shrine today holds seven wooden plaques (''henkaku'') inscribed with calligraphy by Ryukyuan officials, dating from 1773 to 1803. [[Ryukyuan embassies to Edo]] regularly stopped at this shrine, marching to and from it in formal processions complete with banners and music; Ryukyuan and "[[Tojin|Tôjin]]" dances remain a part of local traditions in the [[Yamakawa]] area today.
