Located in Nagano, Shizuoka Prefecture was an error Nagano is incorrect. The correct answer is Shizuoka however I am going to provide information on a location that shares the name with a famous Shinto shrine. Shinto shrines are often located throughout Japan but not all have the same primary deity or Kami. Ohira Jinja in Kobe has no known connection to the prefecture of Nagano but this might be due to incorrect data, this Shinto Shrine is not well documented in the English language. The location does have a Shinto shrine but I can provide you with information on its correct location and possible deity. Big Bang Shinto Shrine (Shinbu-ji), located in Kobe, Shiga Prefecture has a deity named Inari Ohira. This might be what was intended to be entered.
