*''Japanese'': 鹿児島五社 ''(Kagoshima gosha)''
The Kagoshima Five Shrines was a group of five [[Shinto shrines]] in the city of [[Kagoshima]], with strong connections to the [[Shimazu clan]], and which members of the clan visited regularly across the year in the [[Edo period]].
The five were [[Minakata Shrine]], and local branches of [[Kasuga Shrine]], [[Inari shrine]], [[Yasaka Shrine]], and [[Wakamiya Shrine]].
Minakata Shrine was the head of the five, and was also known as [[Suwa|Suwa Daimyôjin]]. Yasaka Shrine, a branch of the Yasaka Shrine in the [[Gion]] neighborhood of [[Kyoto]], was also known as Gion Shrine. And the Kasuga Shrine was built in the 1050s by the [[Haseba clan]], at the same time as [[Tofukuji castle|Tôfukuji castle]], which for centuries was the chief center of the city. The one-hundred-ship fleet which [[invasion of Ryukyu|invaded the Ryukyu Kingdom]] in [[1609]] departed from a set of docks in the immediate vicinity of this shrine.
