The ridge tablet names the patron"Hachisuka no An-sama".

The city records that the main hall of Miyaushiro Hachiman Shrine was rebuilt in 1624 (Kan'ei 1) by Hachisuka Iemasa, lord of Tokushima Castle. Iemasa is recorded as having lived in Miyaushiro as a child with his father. The single-bay nagare-zukuri hall is roofed in cypress bark, and carvings such as the chrysanthemum keep a trace of the Momoyama period.
