Shintō Taikyō (神道大教), formerly called Shintō Honkyoku (神道本局), is a Japanese Shintoist organization, and was established by Meiji officials in 1873. It is recognized officially, and its headquarters are in Tokyo. It has many shrines, and Tenrikyo used to be under its jurisdiction.

Its teachings focus on the early kami of the Kojiki narrative such as Ame-no-Minakanushi.

It is one of the thirteen shinto sects. It used to be very influential but its influence diminished and continues to diminish due to the prevalence of powerful sects such as Tenrikyo and Izumo-taishakyo.

Its name 'Taikyo' refers to the Three Great Teachings first stated in the Proclamation of the Great Doctrine, and it is linked to the historical Great Teaching Institute.

Three Great Teachings

The organization follows these Three Great Teachings, which date back to the Proclamation of the Great Doctrine:

  1. Respect for the gods, love of country;
  2. Making clear the principles of Heaven and the Way of Man;
  3. Reverence for the emperor and obedience to the will of the court.
