History
Fujiwara no Suemitsu was venerated by the local people for his achievements in settling the Miura Peninsula and pacifying pirates, and a small shrine was built in his honor after his death. In 982 CE (Tengi 2), the current shrine buildings were erected, and the shrine became the head shrine of Miura District. Minamoto no Yoritomo had deep reverence for the deity and donated a large ginkgo sacred tree to commemorate the fulfillment of his prayers.
