History
In ancient times, it was called Torino Shrine and was dedicated to the deity Torino-no-kami, whose rank was elevated in 873 CE (Jōgan 15). During the medieval period, it was highly revered by the Aso clan. In the early modern period, it flourished as the tutelary deity of Kurosaki-juku and Fujita with the arrival of the Kuroda clan. In the Meiji era, it was renamed Kasuga-gu. It is currently a shrine listed in national historical records and a former prefectural shrine.

What visitors say
This relatively large, beautifully maintained shrine is situated on a hill in a residential area. The approach path features three torii gates, and the lanterns create a beautiful landscape. The narrow road for vehicle access is difficult to navigate for passing, so caution is required. Various Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seal stamps) related to the Kuroda family are available.
