History
The shrine originated in the first year of the Bunsei era (1818 CE) when Arima Yorinori, the lord of the Kurume Domain, established a branch shrine of Kurume Sui Ten Gu at the Arima family residence in Mita Akahane. When the Arima residence relocated to Aoyama in the first year of the Meiji era (1868 CE), the shrine moved with it, and it was relocated to its current location in the fifth year of the Meiji era (1872 CE).
