Minase Shrine (水無瀬神宮 Minase jingū) is a Shinto Shrine in Shimamoto, Osaka The Shrine is dedicated to the veneration of the kami of Emperor Go-Toba, Emperor Tsuchimikado and Emperor Juntoku. In the struggle with the Kamakura shogunate, the three historical figures are united by one common factor—each was overpowered and banished from the Imperial center in Kyoto: Go-Toba was banished to Oki Island, where he died. Tsuchimikado felt compelled to abandon Kyoto, traveling first to Tosa province (now known as Kōchi Prefecture); and later, he removed himself to Awa province, where he died in exile. Juntoku was forced to end his days at Sado Island.In 1873, the kami of Go-Daigo and Tushimikado were enshrined, and the kami of Juntoku was enshrined in 1874.
