During ancient times, those hoping to travel by sea to Japan and China would sometimes take a pilgrimage first, to the three main Sumiyoshi shrines around Japan. This was the last shrine of the pilgrimage. It also happiness to be dedicated to the spirit of poetry. So not only is this most spiritually important, the shrine you see today is actually a restored version from 1623. The architectural style is of an ancient sort, from before the Buddhist shrine building traditions. Inside the shrine you'll also find a classic style Noh-theatre, built during WWII. Documents recording the history of Hakata from the middle ages are also kept here.
