Enshrined deities
Hachiman Okami, Empress Jingu
History
It is said that the shrine originated when villagers named the site 'Wakahachiman' and enshrined it after Empress Jingū landed and was hosted there. In 1608 CE (Keichō 13), the shrine was relocated to its current site due to the construction of a villa for Kuroda Nagamasa, and a formal consecration ceremony was held in 1625 CE (Kan'ei 2). Since then, it has been revered as the collective ancestral deity of the western side of Fukuoka Castle, and traditional festivals such as the Miyaza Kenshin-sai (Shrine Council Offering Festival) have continued to the present day.
