History
It is believed that the shrine originated from the Taika to late Heian periods, when the provincial governor (kokushi) built a Sousha (Head Shrine) near the provincial government office to relieve the burden of visiting all shrines in the province. During the Muromachi period, it received the reverence of the Hosokawa and Mori families, and during the Edo period, it prospered through donations from local wealthy merchants. It was designated as a Prefectural Shrine in the Meiji era, and in 1994 (Heisei 6), the Sousha (ruins) was designated as an Important Cultural Property of Souja City.
