Wrong Name?[edit]

It's pronounced Izumo Ooyashiro Kyo in Japanese. Maybe the accepted pronunciation in English is Izumo Taishakyo (it's apparently one of the religions soldiers can have put on their official military gravestones), in which case the article should stay as it is. Someone should find out. Madler (talk) 17:21, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The general English name appears to be Izumo Taishakyo with Izumo Oyashirokyo also being correct, as demonstrated by the use of that name on the main Izumo shrine outside of Japan, the Izumo Taishakyo Mission of Hawaii, as well as the use of the later on their website as well. --Osigestus (talk) 13:16, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
