History
The Kammiya (Upper Shrine) was founded in 795 CE. The Nakamiya (Middle Shrine) was established in 1160 CE, and the Shimomiya (Lower Shrine) was created in 1186 CE by imperial decree from Emperor Go-Toba. Following the Order for the Separation of Shinto and Buddhism, the shrine was renamed Yatsushiro Shrine. Currently, the Shimomiya serves as the main shrine. It is considered one of the three major Myoken shrines in Japan and hosts the Myoken Festival, which is one of the three major festivals in Kyushu.
