History
During the Meiji era, Watamori Shrine and Tsu Gion Shrine were merged, and the name was changed to Numanama Shrine in accordance with the records in the Engishiki. According to shrine tradition, the shrine's origins date back to the second year of Emperor Chuai's reign (190 CE), when Empress Jingū prayed for safe passage by sea. During the Edo period, Watamori Shrine existed as a subsidiary shrine within the grounds of Tsu Gion Shrine.
