History
The exact date of founding is unknown, but shrine tradition holds that the deity landed at Hanafuchi Beach by boat in the age of the gods. In 770 CE (Hōki 1), during the reign of Emperor Kunren, the shrine was relocated to its current site. It was ranked as a major famous shrine (Meishin Taisha) in the Engi era. During the Kamakura period, it was revered by the lords of Hanafuchi Castle, who oversaw the construction of shrine buildings and the performance of festivals.
