The deity Amaterasu Omikami enshrined within Ise-jingu Shrine (Kotai-jingu Shrine) has been divided and shared with numerous shrines around the country carrying the titles of 'Daijingu' and 'Kotaijingu,' but these titles are accepted as being different from that of 'Jingu.'
なお、伊勢神宮（皇大神宮）の祭神天照大神を分霊し「大神宮」「皇大神宮」と名乗る神社は全国各地にあるが、これらは「神宮」の社号とは異なるものと解されている。
