History
The exact date of its founding is unknown, but shrine tradition holds that it was enshrined during Emperor Keikō's tour of Kyushu. In the 7th year of the Jōwa era (830 CE), it was designated as an official shrine, making it one of the oldest in Kumamoto Prefecture. It was revived in the early modern period and received deep reverence, as well as land and donations, from the Hosokawa clan, the lords of the Kumamoto Domain.

What visitors say
The spacious shrine grounds are filled with a calm atmosphere beloved by locals. The warm spring water from Chōja no Izumi (Elder's Spring) is a popular spot where many visitors come to collect water. During the autumn foliage season, you can enjoy beautiful scenery, though the parking lot can get crowded during periods such as the Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3) festival.
