  • Japanese: 忠盡堂 (Chûjindô)

The Chûjindô was a family shrine holding mortuary tablets (J: ihai) of the Sai family, one of the prominent scholar-aristocratic families of the Ryûkyû Kingdom.

The shrine was located in Kumemura, and a poor house for impoverished relatives of the Sai family, known as Dôyashichi (堂屋敷, J: Dô-yashiki), was nearby.
