Enshrined kami: Empress Jingū
History and things to know
According to shrine tradition, it began in Tenpyō 4 (732) when the kami was welcomed from Ise Jingū to Kuragahama in 布師浦 as a Shinmeigū and enshrined as a kami protecting the seashore and the people. Because of erosion by the waves the shrine site moved several times, and when it was moved to the present site in Bunka 10 (1813), the Fushiki hikiyama floats were made. It was renamed Fushiki Jinja in Meiji 16.
