History

Founded in the mid-15th century by imperial decree of King Shō Taikū as a place of prayer for the residents. There are theories that it was established by developing a rest stop used by the king when inspecting the central region from Shuri, and oral traditions state it was founded to pray for the soul of Uehara Maru, the lord of Nakagusuku Castle. Before the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, it served as the bettōji (temple in charge of shrine affairs) for the adjacent Futenma Shrine.
