History
Founded in the late Heian period by Matsuda Shozaburo, the shrine was relocated to its current site in 1647 (Shoho 4). During the Enpo era, Arima Yorimoto bestowed upon it the title of 'Kurume Sosha' (Head Shrine of Kurume). It has been deeply revered by successive feudal lords and commoners as the 'deity protecting the city.'
