春日神社, Shinto shrine in Japan

Kasuga Shrine is a Shinto sanctuary in Minō built with wooden structures and stone torii gates that mark the sacred entrance. Stone steps lead through the grounds, flanked by smaller shrines and lanterns that line the path ahead.

Founded in 768, when the site was cleared of sakaki trees to enshrine the local tutelary deity, the shrine was first called Sakakiwa Shrine. It was renamed Kasuga Shrine during the Jōgan era (868). The Shingon temple Chōsen-ji served it until the Meiji Restoration; in 1872 it was ranked as a village shrine, and in January 1907 it was designated to receive offerings of sacred food and cloth. The worship hall was renovated in October 2005.

The shrine's name changed from Sakaki Shrine to Kasuga Shrine in 868, during the Jōgan era. Until the Meiji Restoration, the Shingon temple Chōsen-ji served the shrine. Within the grounds stand ten subordinate shrines, including Atago, Inari, Izumo, Sumiyoshi, Suwa and Kashima; the Tenmangū was moved here in September 1989 from the residence of Ono Shin'uemon, who had enshrined it there in November 1819.

The shrine has parking spots and restroom facilities available for visitors, along with areas to purchase protective amulets. Early mornings and evenings offer quieter times to visit, though prayers can be arranged with advance notice.
