History
During the Edo period, the faith in Konpira spread among maritime operators and merchants, leading to the establishment of branch shrines across the country. Following the Meiji Restoration, the separation of Shinto and Buddhism (Shinbutsu Bunri) and the abolition of Buddhism (Haibutsu Kishaku) resulted in the discontinuation of the syncretic Konpira Daigongen. The site was then established as a Shinto shrine with Omononushi-no-Kami as the principal enshrined deity.

What visitors say
This shrine is characterized by its stone lantern, which boasts the largest size in Japan, and its steep stone steps. The precincts offer a quiet and serene atmosphere, though they become lively with food stalls during festivals. Behind the worship hall (haiden), a steep stone staircase leads to the Kimibe Shrine. From benches along the way, visitors can enjoy views where the Yoshino River meets the sea.
