Originally established as the Jikei Mausoleum after the death of Kato Kiyomasa in 1611 (Keicho 16). In 1871 (Meiji 4), a shrine building was constructed within Kumamoto Castle and named Kinzan Shrine. It was renamed Kato Shrine in 1909 (Meiji 42). In 1962 (Showa 37), the shrine was relocated to its current site within Kumamoto Castle due to road construction.
