{{nihongo|Minase Shrine|水無瀬神宮|Minase jingū}} is a Shinto Shrine in Shimamoto, OsakaPonsonby-Fane, Richard. (1959). The Imperial House of Japan, p. 126.
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.Brownlee, John S. (1991). [https://books.google.com/books?id=P1OZUmnLTdoC&pg=PA104 Political Thought in Japanese Historical Writing: From Kojiki (712) to Tokushi Yoron (1712), p.104.] 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.Takekoshi, Yosaburō. (2004). [https://books.google.com/books?id=2ujfVq9v4zoC&pg=PA186 The Economic Aspects of the History of the Civilization of Japan, Volume 1, p. 186.] Juntoku was forced to end his days at Sado Island.Bornoff, Nicholas. (2005). National Geographic Traveler Japan, p. 193.
In 1873, the kami of Go-Daigo and Tushimikado were enshrined, and the kami of Juntoku was enshrined in 1874.Holton, Daniel Clarence. (1922).

Kanpei-sha
In 1871, the {{nihongo|Kanpei-sha|官幣社}} identified the hierarchy of government-supported shrines most closely associated with the Imperial family.Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1959). The Imperial House of Japan, p. 124. The kampeisha were shrines venerated by the imperial family. This category encompasses those sanctuaries enshrining emperors, imperial family members, or meritorious retainers of the Imperial family.Institute for Japanese Culture and Classics, Kokugakuin University: [http://www2.kokugakuin.ac.jp/ijcc/wp/glossary/def_K.html Glossary of Shinto Names and Terms, Kampei Taisha.] Up through 1940, the mid-range of Imperial shrines or {{nihongo|Kanpei-chūsha|官幣中社}} included the shrine; and it was then known as Minase-gūPonsonby-Fane. Imperial, p. 125. In 1940, Minase's status was changed {{nihongo|Kanpei-taisha|官幣大社}}, which is the highest rank; and since then, it has been known as Minase jingū.Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1963). The Vicissitudes of Shinto, p. 394.
