History
The shrine was founded in Kyushu in 1882 during the Meiji period.[3]
This class of shrine (Bekkaku Kanpeisha) was established in 1872 (Meiji 5) for the veneration of those kami who were, during life, ordinary subjects of the Emperor. Only a very small number of shrines designated as such.[2]
