History
In 1662 CE (Kanbun 2), the shrine was established by inviting the kami from Toyoyama Hachimangu, which served as the head shrine of the Kokura shoen (manor). This location was chosen as an ideal site for founding a tutelary deity shrine because it is the sacred ground where Empress Jingu breastfed her prince (the future Emperor Ojin).
