History

The year of founding is unknown. It is said that the name Miku originated when local residents offered food to the troops while Empress Jingū anchored her ships at Futamigaura to gather provisions during her western expedition. During the Jōgan era, a Hachiman Shrine was enshrined; during the Kanwa era, a Tenman Shrine was enshrined; and during the Chōreki era, the shrine moved to its current location in the U-no-hana-no-mori forest.
