History
It is said that Oono Yasumaro enshrined the deity from Usa Jingu (Usa Grand Shrine) in 746 CE. After being destroyed by a major fire in 1845, it was rebuilt in 1863 based on designs by Matsui Kakubei. It was known as Nao Hachiman Grand Shrine until the Meiji era, and was renamed Hoshinohama Hachiman Grand Shrine in 1909.
