History

It is believed to have been established around 593 CE (Suiko 1), when Shitennoji Temple was founded. Initially, it enshrined the ancestral deity of medicine as a guardian for a pharmacy and a hospital. Later, Emperor Chinto, the ancestor of the Tachibana clan, was also enshrined, and the shrine was renamed Chinto Tenno-sha. In 1872 CE (Meiji 5), it was designated as a village shrine, and in 1915 CE (Taisho 4), it was designated as a shrine receiving offerings of food and silk.

What visitors say

The shrine grounds are small and surrounded by a residential area, but they possess a unique atmosphere typical of shrines, allowing for a calm visit. The grounds feature a magnificent large ginkgo tree and a silver torii gate. A path leading to a short, atmospheric approach from the back is also available. Since Shitennoji Temple is nearby, it is possible to visit both together.
