History

It was founded by

Empress Jingu when she returned from the Three Han (三韓, Korea) campaign.[1][2]

She was nearly shipwrecked but managed to survive thanks to praying to Watatsumi, and she made the shrine to honor him.[2] Ikuta Shrine and Watatsumi Shrine were both also made at the same time by the Empress.[2]
