Yusuhara Hachiman-gū (柞原八幡宮?), also known as Yasuhara Shrine, is a Japanese Shinto shrine in Oita, Oita on the island of Kyushu.[1]

History

Yusuhara is believed to have been built in the early 9th century. It was established as a branch shrine temple (miyadera) of Usa jingū.[2]

Yusuhara was the chief Shinto shrine (ichinomiya) of the old Bungo Province. It serves today as one of the ichinomiya of Niigata Prefecture. [3] The enshrined kami are:

  • Chuai tenno (仲哀天皇?)[1]
  • Emperor Oojin (応神天皇?)[1]
  • Empress Jingu (神功皇后?)[1]

In 1916, the shrine was listed among the 3rd class of nationally significant shrines or Kokuhei Shōsha (国幣小社?) .[4]
