History
Tradition holds that the shrine was founded in 740 CE (Tenpyo 12), but details are unclear because ancient documents were lost in a flood during the Muromachi period. In 1570 CE (Eiroku 13), the head of the Edo clan repaired the shrine, and during the Edo period, the Kitami family completed the foundation of the current shrine. It was elevated to a village shrine (Gosha) in the Meiji era. The shrine buildings burned down in 1988 CE (Sho 63), and the current structures were rebuilt in 1990 CE (Heisei 2).
