Minakata Shrine, located in the Shimizu-chô neighborhood of [[Kagoshima]], regarded as one of the [[Kagoshima Five Shrines]].
Also known as Suwa Shrine or Suwa Daimyôjin, the shrine traces its origins to the early [[Kamakura period]]. After helping defeat the [[Oshu Fujiwara|Ôshû Fujiwara]], [[Shimazu Tadahisa]] (founder of the [[Shimazu clan]]) stopped and prayed at [[Suwa Shrine]] in [[Shinano province]], and some generations later [[Shimazu Sadahisa]] (1269-1363) collected funds for the establishment of a branch shrine in [[Satsuma province]]. The shrine was then moved to the castle-town of Kagoshima in the 14th century, during the time of his successor, [[Shimazu Ujihisa]].
The festivals at Minakata Shrine were the largest in the city in the [[Edo period]], and involved ''[[taiko]]'' dances.
