History
The earliest record of the shrine dates back to an imperial edict by Emperor Shomu ordering the enshrinement of the spirits of Tamashima Island and Akahira Bay. In 1606 (Keicho 11), the shrine buildings were rebuilt by Asano Yoshinaga, followed by extensive renovations by Tokugawa Yorinobu. Since the early modern period, it has been a famous sightseeing spot in Waka no Ura, attracting pilgrims and visitors.
