It was founded by Empress Jingu when she returned from the Three Han (三韓, Korea) campaign.
She was nearly shipwrecked but managed to survive thanks to praying to Watatsumi, and she made the shrine to honor him. Ikasuri Shrine and Watatsumi Shrine were both also made at the same time by the Empress.
It contains the Settsu Sannomiya
