History and things to know
According to the shrine's tradition, it began in Kenkyū 2 (1191), when Minamoto no Yoritomo welcomed Ebisu-sama from Nishinomiya in Settsu as the protector of this place; in Antei 1 (1227) Hachiman Ōkami was enshrined together with it and it was called a Hachimangū. Because it protected the village from the great tsunami of the Ōchō era, it was also called “Namiyoke Hachiman,” and the present main sanctuary is said to have been built in Tenshō 14.
