This shrine serves as the Ujigami (local tutelary deity) for the three villages of Kosaka, Higashi-Kosaka, and Nishi-Fukata. It enshrines the 'Sukoshi-bachi' (a type of bowl or vessel), which is associated with the merits of the attendants who supported Empress Jingū during her campaign against the Three Kingdoms of Korea. This vessel is still used in festivals and rituals today.

History
The shrine was founded on August 15, 774 CE (Hōki 5). It has long served as the Ujigami for the villages of Kosaka, Higashi-Kosaka, and Nishi-Fukata. In 1667 CE (Kanbun 7), the separation of Shinto and Buddhism was implemented, and the shrine was formally established as Hachiman Shrine. The main hall (honden) was rebuilt in 1692 CE (Genroku 5). Further reconstruction of the main hall and the worship hall (haiden) took place in the 1950s (Shōwa 30s).
