History
The shrine's founding is ancient, with traditions stating it was established by a son of Emperor Keiko (the 12th emperor) or that Sakanoue no Tamamaro enshrined a branch spirit from Kashima Shrine in Hitachi Province. During the Edo period, it received the faith of the Yunagawa Domain, and after the Meiji Restoration, it was designated as a village shrine. In 1968 (Showa 43), in response to a request from the prefecture due to the expansion of the coastal industrial zone, the shrine buildings were constructed at the current site in Minamitomioka, and the deities were transferred there.
