Ichikishimahime-no-Mikoto
History
The shrine is said to have been founded in the first year of Empress Suiko's reign (593 CE) when Sakanoue no Kunifushi received a divine oracle and, with imperial permission, established a shrine to enshrine Ichikishimahime-no-mikoto (the Princess of Ichikishima). In the mid-Heian period, it was designated as a Meishin Taisha (Grand Shrine of a Famous Deity) and became the first shrine (Ichinomiya) of Aki Province. The current large-scale shrine buildings standing in the sea were arranged by Taira no Kiyomori.
