History
The exact date of founding is unknown, but it is said to have been established during the reign of Emperor Horikawa in the 1750s CE. Its origins lie in the act of the former chief priest, Raineri Hoin, who brought the divine spirit from Kumano in Kii Province and enshrined it here. Subsequently, the shrine underwent repeated restorations under the successive domain lords of the Shimazu clan.
