Kasuga-jinja

Kasuga-jinja, Shinto shrine in Ibaraki, Osaka Prefecture, Japan

Kasuga-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Shimizu, Ibaraki, Osaka Prefecture, not Ibaraki Prefecture. Its current main hall and worship hall were rebuilt in 2012 after a 2010 fire. The shrine is a candidate site for the two enshrined deities of Sukuku Shrine listed in the Engishiki register.

Listed in the Engishiki shrine register as a candidate for the two Sukuku Shrines of Shimashimo District, Settsu Province, it traces its origin to 740, when the Minister of the Right Nakatomi no Kiyomaro is said to have lived here and worshipped his ancestral kami nearby. It became independent of Motosukemura village and took the name Kasuga Shrine in 1655, and was ranked a village shrine in 1872. A suspicious fire destroyed the main hall and worship hall on 28 August 2010; both were rebuilt by 25 March 2012.

The shrine's name, Kasuga-jinja, dates from 1655, when the settlement became independent from Motosukuhonmura and took this title. Its four enshrined kami are Ame no Koyane no Mikoto, Takemikazuchi no Mikoto, Futsunushi no Mikoto and Hime Okami, the deities honoured at Nara's Kasuga Taisha.

The shrine stands in the Shimizu district of Ibaraki, Osaka Prefecture, not Ibaraki Prefecture. Its main hall and worship hall were rebuilt in 2012 after an August 2010 fire, so visitors see structures completed that year. Check locally for access and hours, as the sources give none.

The shrine's name dates only from 1655, when the settlement became independent from Motosukuhonmura and took the title Kasuga-jinja. It is counted among the candidate sites (ronsha) for the two Sukuku Shrines of Shimashimo District listed in the Engishiki register. The present hall is recent: a suspicious fire destroyed the main and worship halls on 28 August 2010, and rebuilding finished on 25 March 2012.
