History
On August 1, 1283 CE (Kōan 6), during the Mongol invasions, Amakusa Daimyo Ōkura Taishi, who achieved military merit under the protection of Suwa Daimyōjin, established the shrine by enshrining a sub-enshrined deity from Suwa Grand Shrine. After being destroyed by fire during the Shimabara and Amakusa Rebellions, the shrine was relocated to its current vicinity in 1643 CE (Kan'ei 20), and then to its present location in 1915 CE (Taishō 4). In 1945, it was elevated to the status of a prefectural shrine (kensha) as the representative shrine and chief guardian of Amakusa.
