History edit
Hirasaki was the chief Shinto shrine (ichinomiya) of the old Satsuma Province. It serves today as one of the ichinomiya of Kagoshima Prefecture. [2] The kami enshrined is Amaterasu-ōmikami (天照大御神).[1]
In the former system of ranked Shinto shrines, Watatsu was listed among the third class of nationally significant shrines or Kokuhei Shōsha (国幣小社).[citation needed]
