The
Aji
Peninsula,
which
is
surrounded
by
the
sea
on
three
sides,
has
prospered
in
fishing
and
shipping
since
ancient
times,
and
is
thought
to
have
enshrined
gods
in
order
to
thank
the
blessings
and
pray
for
the
safety
of
voyages.
Our
company
is
definitely
one
of
them.
In
Aji-cho,
there
is
an
old
shrine,
Sakura
Hachiman
Shrine,
which
enshrined
Emperor
Honda's
outer
three
gods
as
Ichigo
Ichihachiman
in
840.
Our
company,
which
is
a
subsidiary
shrine
outside
the
boundary,
enshrines
Wakiroko
Ushino,
which
is
rare
in
Japan.
There
is
a
legend
that
Uchinowakirōko
was
the
son
of
Emperor
Ojin
and
the
half-brother
of
Emperor
Nintoku,
who
inherited
the
throne
from
Emperor
Nintoku.
The
company's
founding
year
is
unknown,
but
it
was
revived
in
1620.
After
that,
in
1681,
by
order
of
Lord
Yorishige
Matsudaira,
the
first
feudal
lord
of
Takamatsu,
the
shrine
on
the
Enoura
coast
was
relocated
to
the
hillside
of
Gotenyama,
the
mountain
behind,
and
rebuilt.
The
size
of
the
main
building
became
the
current
size
due
to
the
renovation
work
in
February
1945.
About
the
name,
it
was
originally
like
"Prince
Gongen",
but
it
seems
to
have
changed
to
"Prince
Shrine"
at
some
point.
Kotohira
Shrine
is
enshrined
on
the
east
side
of
the
precincts,
and
Shinmei
Shrine
(Oise-san)
and
Nagata
Shrine
(Ebisu-san)
are
enshrined
on
the
west
side.
From
the
precincts,
which
became
famous
as
a
movie
location
(crying
out
love
in
the
center
of
the
world),
you
can
see
Aji
fishing
port,
the
mountains,
Mt.
Goken,
and
Yashima
across
the
bay.
Also
known
as
one
of
the
few
sea
festivals
in
Japan,
the
summer
festival
of
Aji
Oji
Shrine,
the
``Aji
no
Fune
Matsuri,''
which
has
been
around
since
the
Edo
period,
is
held
on
Fridays
and
Saturdays
near
the
full
moon
on
June
14th
and
15th
of
the
lunar
calendar.
I'm
here.
The
shrine
is
also
famous
for
the
heroic
"Funatogyo",
in
which
a
fleet
of
portable
shrines,
local
floats,
and
lions
board
fishing
boats
brightly
lit
by
lanterns
and
cross
the
sea
to
go
to
Otabisho.
Please
visit
the
shrine
as
it
has
many
attractions.

三方を海に囲まれた庵治半島は古くから漁業や海運で栄え恵みに感謝し航海の安全を祈る為、神々を祀っていたと思われます。当社もこの一つの社に間違いないでしょう。
庵治町内には承和七年（840年）に一郷一八幡として誉田天皇外三神を勧請した古社櫻八幡神社があります。その境外摂社であります当社は全国的にも珍しい宇遅能和紀郎子が御祭神です。宇遅能和紀郎子は応神天皇の皇子、仁徳天皇の異母弟にあたり仁徳天皇と皇位継承を譲りあった伝説がある皇子です。
当社の創建年代は不詳ですが、元和六年（1620年）に再興されました。
その後天和元年（1681年）に高松初代藩主松平頼重公の命により、江の浦海岸に有った社を背後の山である御殿山の中腹に移転再建されました。社殿の規模は昭和二十年二月の改修工事で現在の規模に成りました。名称については元々「皇子権現」のようでしたが、いつ頃からか「皇子神社」に成ったようです。
境内末社として拝殿東側に金刀比羅神社、西側には神明神社（お伊勢さん）と長田神社（えびすさん）が祀られています。
映画のロケ（世界の中心で愛を叫ぶ）で有名に成った境内からは庵治漁港と山々、五剣山、湾を向こうに屋島が一望出来、大変風光明媚な景色を見ることが出来ます。
また全国的にも数少ない海の祭りとして知られる庵治皇子神社の夏祭り、江戸時代から続く「庵治の船祭り」は旧暦の六月十四、十五日の満月に近い金、土曜日に繰り広げられています。提灯で明々と照らされた漁船にお神輿や地車、獅子が乗り船団を連ねて海を渡り御旅所に行く勇壮な「船渡御」で有名な神社でもあります。見所が多い神社ですので御参拝下さい。
