History
Originally enshrined on Himeko Mountain as Himeko Shrine, it was relocated and invited to its current location in Torimachi in 1872 (Meiji 5), at which time it was renamed Kotoshirushi Shrine. The main hall and shrine office were destroyed in the Tokushima Great Air Raid of 1945 (Showa 20), but the sacred object was protected by the head priest and others, allowing the shrine to be rebuilt after the war.
