Kagoshima Shrine was the chief shrine (''ichi-no-miya'') in [[Osumi province|Ôsumi province]].
The shrine is mentioned in the [[967]] ''[[Engi-shiki]]''. It later became a [[Hachiman]] shrine, and in or around the 11th century, the shrine's name was changed from Kagoshima ''jinja'' to Ôsumi Shô-Hachiman-gû. It was not only the top shrine in Ôsumi, but was a center of worship for all three provinces of Ôsumi, [[Hyuga province|Hyûga]], and [[Satsuma province|Satsuma]]. Many people prayed there for victory against the [[Mongol invasions]], and the shrine received some special recognition from the [[Kamakura shogunate]] afterward.
During the [[Nanbokucho period|Nanbokuchô period]], the shrine became opposed to the [[Shimazu clan]], but by the 16th century, the Shimazu began to worship there, and to patronize the shrine. Today, a number of gifts from [[Shimazu Takahisa]] can still be found there, along with a worship hall (''shaden'') built by [[Shimazu Shigehide]]. The shrine was heavily involved in overseas trade in the medieval period, and many trade goods have been discovered in archaeological excavations on the site.
The Ôsumi Shô-Hachiman Shrine was renamed Kagoshima ''jinja'' in [[1671]], and Kagoshima ''jingû'' in [[1674]]; it continues to be known by the latter today.
