史About
Usa-jingū (宇佐神宮), also known as Usa Hachimangū (宇佐八幡宮), is a Shinto shrine in the city of Usa, Ōita in Japan. Emperor Ōjin, who was deified as Hachiman, the tutelary god of warriors, is said to be enshrined in all the sites dedicated to him. The first Hachiman shrine was at Usa, and was built in the early 8th century.
Usa-jingū has long been the recipient of Imperial patronage; and its prestige is considered second only to that of Ise Shrine.
