History
The date of founding is unknown. According to shrine tradition, there were originally three shrines located on the northern side of Shima Island, but the Omotsu Palace was moved to its current location by Atsumi Irori. It is believed to have been the base of operations for the Atsumi clan, and the current family of shrine priests claims descent from the Atsumi lineage.

A serene shrine away from the hustle and bustle of the city, where the grounds are enveloped by sea breezes and greenery, with sunlight filtering through the trees. From the distant worship area (Yohaijo), one can enjoy spectacular views of the Genkai Strait and the cityscape of Fukuoka, making it a well-known power spot that heals both body and mind. Within the grounds lies the Shikakudo (Deer Antler Hall), which houses many donated deer antlers and exudes a unique sense of awe.
