Niigawaue Shrine Chusha (Niigawaue Shrine Middle Shrine)
日本、〒633-2431 奈良県吉野郡東吉野村小９６８
Located in Higashi-Yoshino Village, Yoshino District, Nara Prefecture, this shrine was historically known as Amashiro Myojin (Deity of Rain) or Ariutsu Myojin (Deity of Ants' Passage). It is called Chusha (Middle Shrine) because there are two other shrines, the Upper and Lower Shrines, but this name does not indicate a positional relationship or a hierarchy of shrine rank.

History
It is said that Emperor Jinmu enshrined the heavenly and terrestrial deities (Tenchi) at this site to predict victory in battle during his eastern expedition. According to tradition, the goddess Muzanjo was enshrined in 714 CE (Hakuhō 4), after which the deity was transferred to the current location. The enshrined deity was changed to the current one in 1922 CE (Taishō 11).
