History
The founding date is thought to be around 1288 CE, 1399 CE, or around 1508 CE. It was designated as the chief guardian shrine (so-chinju) of Shimoda during the period when the Asahina clan, under the command of the Later Hojo clan, ruled the region. The main hall (honden) was completely destroyed by fire in 1983, but it was rebuilt in 1986.
