History
Originally established as a Hachiman Shrine at the foot of Hachiman Mountain to the west, it was relocated to its current site in 1599. This move was initiated by the wishes of Ma-ike Shichirobe and others who migrated from Harima Province, and was carried out under the invitation of Hachisuka Nagayasa, the founding lord of the Tokushima Domain. The shrine buildings were significantly expanded, and a branch spirit (bunrei) from Usa Jingu in Bungo Province was enshrined alongside the original deity. The shrine was subsequently renamed Usa Hachiman Shrine.
