History
It is said to have been founded during the late Heian period, in the reign of Emperor Sanjō, by inviting the deity from Awashima Shrine in Kii Province. In 1958, the shrine was relocated to its current location due to the opening of the Kitakyushu Expressway. In 1984, the shrine buildings were completely rebuilt and the grounds were developed.
