History
The shrine's founding is attributed to Wakasugi Kizota, a town official who moved the enshrined deity Inari Ookami—the guardian spirit of Kusunoki Masashige—from his private residence to the current site in 1673 CE (Enpo 1). In 1736 CE (Genbun 1), Nagasaki Magistrate Hosoi Tanba-no-Kami Yasuaki constructed the approach path and renovated the shrine buildings. During the late Edo period, patriots including Sakamoto Ryoma and those who revered Kusunoki Masashige visited the shrine to pray for Japan's new dawn, earning it the nickname 'Kinko Inari' (Loyalist Inari).
