History
Established in 871 CE through the initiative of the provincial governor, who enshrined Takemikazuchi-no-Kami (Takemikazuchi) from Tsushima Shrine. During the medieval period, it was a center for Shinbutsu-shugo (syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism). It was renamed Hikawa Shrine during the Meiji Restoration but reverted to its current name, Kida Shrine, in 1877. It was designated as a Kosha (village shrine) in 1885 and as a shrine eligible to receive offerings of food and cloth from the Imperial Household Agency in 1908.
