History

The Kashibi Shrine, which corresponds to the current Kasuga-gu, is said to have been founded in 724 CE during the Nara period. The area surrounding Kasuga-gu is believed to have served as the headquarters for Emperor Chouai's campaign against Kumaso and Empress Jingu's expedition to the Three Kingdoms of Korea, and its name appears in ancient historical records. Although Kasuga-gu was destroyed by fire in a battle in 1586, it is known as a historically significant military base and a location closely connected to the imperial court.
