History

During the Meiji era, Watamori Shrine and Tsu Gion-gu were merged, and the shrine was renamed Numanama Shrine in accordance with the records in the Engishiki. According to shrine tradition, its origins date back to the second year of Emperor Chuai's reign (191 CE), when Empress Jingū prayed for safe sea travel. The shrine has long been revered as the native deity of Tsu and received numerous donations from the lords of the Fukuyama domain.
