Aoi Asu Shrine
〒868-0005 熊本県人吉市上青井町１１８
Located in Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, this shrine features five structures, including the main hall (honden), designated as National Treasures. Locally affectionately known as 'Aoi-san,' it enshrines one of the three deities of the Aso Shrine complex.
History
The shrine's origin is traditionally traced to 806 CE (Dōtō 1), when a branch deity (bunrei) was enshrined from Aso Shrine. It was later revived during the Tenki era. Revered as the ancestral deity (ujigami) of the Sōra clan, the shrine underwent major reconstruction of its buildings under the Hitoyoshi Domain during the Keichō era. In the Meiji era, it was classified as a Gōsha (prefectural shrine), and in 1935 CE (Shōwa 10), it was elevated to the status of a Kenja (prefectural shrine).
