History
It was enshrined by Tadahiro Shimazu, the first hereditary governor, in commemoration of a fox that protected him at an Inari shrine within the grounds of Sumiyoshi Shrine in Settsu Province. In the ninth month of the third year of Ten'ō (1684 CE), it was relocated during the reclamation of new fields and has been worshipped as the ancestral deity of the Shimazu clan for generations since.
