History
The shrine was established after Toyohime, daughter of the sea god Watatsumi-no-Kami, established her residence beneath Chiran Castle Mountain and passed away after nurturing the livelihood of the people. Later, the deities of her father, husband, and sister were also enshrined together. In the 15th year of the Keicho era (1610 CE), the shrine was relocated to its current site through the donation of the domain lord, Shimazu Tadamitsu.
