The Higurashi shrine (日暮神社, "Higurashi-jinja") was the large property on which Kagome Higurashi lived in the modern era with her family. The shrine was owned by her grandfather, who was a priest. Although the shrine was not popular enough to be a major tourist destination, it was very well known to the locals in the area. People would come during the summer festivals or the New Years shrine visits. It also had a reputation for being effective at dispelling bad omens from items or events, therefore on occasion there would be who would visit it after traveling a great distance.[1][2] There were several structures within the shrine grounds.
