History
It is theorized that this location corresponds to Awakihara, the mythical place where the Sumiyoshi deities were born, making it the earliest established among all Sumiyoshi shrines. Since the medieval period, it has been designated as the Ichinomiya (first shrine) of Chikuzen Province and has been worshipped by both feudal lords and commoners as a deity associated with the sea.
