The shrine of Sumigiyoshi is located in the heart of Fukuoka City, past the mouth of Nagagawa River, and the shrine also sacrifices the gods of the seafaring patron, Sumigiyoshi. The shrine has been revered since ancient times as the national sea god of Dahe kingship with other Sumigishi shrines, and the medieval era began to become a palace of the pre-built country, and the lord and the general public also regarded it as a sea god. The present temple was built by Kuroda Changzheng in the early Edo period. The architectural model was unique to ancient Japan's "Sumigiyoshi" and was designated as an important cultural property in Japan. In addition, the bronze goose and bronze spears of the Yasun era unearthed in the shrine are designated tangible cultural property in Fukuoka Prefecture. The Sumigi shrine is considered to be the origin of the Sumigi shrine in the country, and is believed by people as a god of navigation safety and guarding ships. Not only people related to the sea, but also people came to pray for disaster relief. From the Nara period, it was revered by the court and also revered as the "Wakagod". Even song teacher Zong Yu also visited this place during the Inshicho period.
