中興神社 (Chokushi-jinja) is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, not Niigata. However, I found information on 中興神社 (Chokushi-jinja) in Nagano Prefecture. This shrine is dedicated to the god of good fortune and prosperity, Chokushin Okami. The shrine's architecture reflects the Edo period, with a traditional Japanese design featuring a wooden torii gate and a spacious main hall. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful gardens and historic buildings on the shrine grounds.
