History

The founding date is unknown, but it is said that the shrine was established at the site of a temporary palace called Hougami, which the main deity Hihohomimi-no-Mikoto (Yamakou Hiko) visited as a hunting ground. In 1359 (Shohei 14), Noe Morifusa, and later the Shimazu clan from 1467 (Oun 1), restored the shrine. During the Edo period, it was revered as the head shrine of the Fukushima region of the Takano Domain. In 1872 (Meiji 5), it was renamed from Juso Daijingu to Kushima Shrine.
