History
The exact date of founding is unknown, but records indicate that a torii gate was erected by at least 1757 CE (Hōreki 7). It serves as the guardian deity of the area that formerly constituted Asada Village in Ebara District, Musashi Province (now encompassing Yakumo, Higashi-gaoka, Kakinoki-zaka, Jiyugaoka, Midorigaoka, Hei-machi, and Ōoka in Meguro Ward). During the Taishō era, a tree known as the 'Hikawa-sama's Groaning Oak' (Hikawa-sama no Nari-kashi) became a topic of discussion.

What visitors say
The approach path (sando) extending from the first torii gate is lush with trees, and the shrine grounds are spacious and well-maintained. The worship hall (haiden) and the Kagura Hall feature exquisite carvings and decorations, and an Okumiya (inner sanctuary) is located in the rear. Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seal stamps) can be collected self-service at the shrine office in front of the worship hall, and the initial offering fee (hatsuho-ryō) is paid by placing coins in the offering box. The annual grand festival (rei-taisai) features a mikoshi (portable shrine) procession and dedicated dances.
