History
In 1185 CE (Bunji 1), a branch spirit was enshrined from Miyajima, and the shrine was named Itsukushima-sha. In 1713 CE (Shōtoku 3), the three Hachiman deities were invited from Kotogahama Hachiman-gu and enshrined together, and the shrine was relocated to its current site and renamed Nishinomiya Hachiman-gu. In 1873 CE (Meiji 6), it was designated as a village shrine, and in 1925 CE (Taishō 14), the Nakayama district was incorporated into its jurisdiction.
