History
The shrine's name derives from the legend that the ship Empress Jingū rode upon when returning home from her campaign against the Three Han kingdoms docked at this port. It became known as a place for praying for safe childbirth. In 1184 CE, it was merged with Usa Jingu (Usa Grand Shrine) and came to be called Tsutsu Hachiman Shrine. It was later revived as the Ujinushi of Kokura Castle. It was designated a Gōsha (prefectural shrine) in 1873 CE and a Kensha (regional shrine) in 1925 CE.
