Omiya Shrine
山鹿市山鹿１９６
Located in Yamaoka City, Kumamoto Prefecture, this shrine enshrines Emperor Keikō as its primary deity and also honors the Twelve Gods of Aso. As the guardian deity of Yamaoka, it has received deep reverence from successive feudal lords and domain masters.
History
It is said that the shrine originated when Emperor Keikō, the 12th emperor, established a traveling palace at the current site during his tour of the Chikuzi region, and was subsequently enshrined there. In 1072, Kikuchi Noritaka invited the Twelve Gods of Aso to be enshrined alongside the emperor and donated farmland. In 1871 (Meiji 4), the shrine was renamed Yamaoka Jingu (Yamaoka Grand Shrine), and it received its current name in 1940 (Shōwa 15).
