is a Shinto Shrine in Aso, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan,〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1962). ''Studies in Shinto and Shrines,'' p. 477; Kotodamaya.com, ("Aso Jinja" ); retrieved 2012-10-29.〕 Aso is one of the oldest and most prominent shrines in Japan.〔( Japan National Tourist Organization )(JNTO): ( Aso-jinja Shrine )〕 This shrine holds several Important Cultural Properties, such as ''Ichi-no-shinden'' （一の神殿）, ''Ni-no-shinden'' （二の神殿）, ''Rōmon'' （楼門） etc. ==History== Aso Shrine at Mount Aso in Kyushu is traditionally held to have been a center of worship before the accession of Emperor Jinmu. The ''shikinaisha'' shrine complex at Ichinomiya in what is today Kumamoto prefecture was said to have been established in 281.〔 Records link the founding of the shrine to the reign of Emperor Keikō. By the middle of the 11th century, the shrine was involved in national issues as they played out across Kyushu. 〔Iwao, Seiichi ''et al.'' (2002). ( ''Dictionnaire historique du Japon,'' p. 86. )〕 During the ascendancy of the Kamakura shogunate, the Hōjō clan exercised a significant influence over the affairs of Aso Shrine.〔Maas, Jeffrey P. (1976). ( ''The Kamakura Bakufu: A Study in Documents,'' p. 317. )〕 This Shinto shrine is dedicated to the veneration of Tateiwatatsu-no-Mikoto, who was a grandson of Japan's first emperor and the brother of Emperor Suizei, the second monarch on the traditional list of emperors.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1959). ''The Imperial House of Japan,'' p. 29.〕 In the same period that Emperor Jimmu was establishing his palace at Kashihara at the foot of Mount Unebi in Yamato province,〔Ponsonby-Fane, ''Imperial House,'' p. 28; (''Unebiyama-no Ushitora-no-sumi-no misasagi'' (''Unebi Goryō,'' tomb of Emperor Jimmu). )〕 Tateiwatasu was sent to Aso where he helped establish a number of agricultural communities; and later, he is said to have built a palace at Miyagi.〔Ponsonby-Fane, ''Shrines,'' pp. 480-484.〕 The original location of the shrine is uncertain because it was destroyed and rebuilt many times in or near the crater of Aso-zan. The present buildings date only from the ''Tenpō'' era (1830–1843).〔Ponsonby-Fane, ''Shrines,'' p. 490.〕 ''Aso'' was the chief Shinto shrine (''ichinomiya'') of the old Higo Province. It serves today as one of the ''ichinomiya'' of Kumamoto Prefecture.〔("Nationwide List of ''Ichinomiya''," p. 2 ); retrieved 2012-10-29.〕 From 1871 through 1946, the Aso Shrine was officially designated one of the ''Kanpei-taisha'' (官幣大社), meaning that it stood in the first rank of government supported shrines.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard.
