History
In 1632, Hosokawa Tadaoki enshrined the deity of Usa Jingu (Usa Grand Shrine) and established the shrine at Hachiman Beach. In 1655, Matsui Nobunaga relocated the shrine to its current site and designated it as the guardian deity of the western district of Yatsushiro castle town. During the Myoken Festival of Yatsushiro Shrine, one of the three great festivals of Kyushu, this shrine serves as the temporary lodging (Otabisho) for the divine procession.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds feature a magnificent worship hall (haiden). The well water at the hand-washing pavilion (temizuya) is famously cold and refreshing. Although the administrative office is unattended, visitors can request a Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) by pressing the bell. A spacious parking lot is located behind the grounds, and the surrounding area offers a quiet atmosphere with traditional houses lining the streets.
