History
Founded in 1373 CE (Ouan 6) when Ouchi Hiroyo invited the kami from Kitano Tenmangu. Originally located in Yamaguchi, Kita-no-Shoji, the shrine was moved several times before Mori Hidetada relocated the buildings to its current site in 1618 CE (Genroku 4).

What visitors say
This shrine features a distinctive two-story worship hall (haiden). The grounds include the Mitsumori Shrine, a sacred horse statue, and komainu (lion-dog guardians). Autumn foliage is particularly beautiful, allowing visitors to enjoy a stroll through the precincts while worshipping. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available at the shrine office. However, visitors arriving by car should exercise caution as the road to the parking lot and the entrance are narrow.
