History
Legend holds that the shrine originated when Empress Jingu landed and the local people hosted her; the site was named Wakahachiman and enshrined there. In 1598 (Keicho 13), the shrine was relocated to its current site due to the construction of Kuroda Nagamasa's secondary residence, and a new shrine building was erected in 1625 (Kan'ei 2). Since then, it has been revered as the head shrine for the western side of Fukuoka Castle, and festivals such as the Miyaza Kenzen-sai have been passed down to the present day.
