History
The exact date of founding is unknown, but tradition holds that it began when Amaterasu-oo-mikami was enshrined after the landing of Tenjin no Kononson during Emperor Suinin's eastern expedition. In the medieval period, Sumiyoshi-o-o-kami was jointly enshrined. During the Ka-gen era, Hino Saemon Fujiwara Mitsufuku enshrined the three Kasuga deities and named it 'Kasuga Shrine.' In the Tensho era, Kuwazama Shigenori relocated the shrine to its current site, and the shrine buildings were constructed in the first year of the Keicho era.

What visitors say
Found at the end of a narrow alley, this is a quiet shrine with a cozy atmosphere. The grounds feature a large sacred tree with a bench placed in front of it. There is a unique omikuji (fortune slip) system where you 'catch' a sea bream, and the main hall is impressively built. Since there is no parking nearby, it is recommended to visit on foot from Kata Station.
