Heijō Shrine in Pyongyang before 1945

Heijō Shrine (平壌神社, Heijō jinja) was a Shinto shrine in Pyongyang during the Japanese colonial rule in Korea. Its name derived from the Japanese name for Pyongyang during its occupation of Korea. It was established in 1913, and was defunct after 1945. The shrine's main annual festival was held on October 2.

It was formerly a national shrine of the third rank (国幣小社, kokuhei shōsha) in the Modern system of ranked Shinto Shrines.

In modern times, the site is a park, with a statue of Kim Il-Sung built at the site of the shrine's building.
