History

Founded in 1261 CE (Koucho 2), the shrine later came under the domain of the Karasuyama clan during the Tokugawa period, where it became widely revered as a protector against evil influences from the northeast direction. Today, as the tutelary deity of Kuzo, it attracts many visitors from outside the local area.
