Kamiyuge Shrine, Shinto shrine in Japan

Kamiyuge Shrine stands on the left bank of the Shirakawa in Yuge-machi, Kumamoto, and is also called Yuge Hōō-sha. It enshrines Empress Kōken, a female deity; a theory holds that the shrine across the river, Yuge Shrine in Tatsuta-machi Yuge, enshrines Dōkyō. A legend says a male deity crossed stepping stones each night to visit the goddess there.

In the early modern period the shrine was called Hōkōgū or Hōkōsha, and its origin is attributed to a person named Wakasugi, who guarded the sacred body and invited the deity; the date is unknown. Its festival day was 25 September in the early modern period and is now 15 October.
