History
Founded in 1053 CE (Tenki 1) when Haseba Naosumi invited the deities of Kasuga Taisha to serve as the guardian spirits of Tofukuji Castle. Although the castle fell during conflicts with the Shimazu clan in the Nanbokucho period, the shrine survived even after the castle was abandoned in the early Edo period. In 1872 CE (Meiji 5), it was classified as a Kosha (village shrine).
