The Three Sumiyoshi Deities

History

It is a Meishin Taisha (Great Shrine of Famous Deities) listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex). It is traditionally said that the shrine was founded by Empress Jingu. According to legend, when Empress Jingu returned in triumph following divine guidance, she received a divine instruction to enshrine the 'Ara-mitama' (rough spirit) of the deities at Yamada Village in Anan. To express gratitude for this divine grace, she built a shrine to enshrine the rough spirits of the three deities, which marks the origin of this shrine.
