History
The shrine's origins date back to 1663, when village heads from Maehama Village, while investigating a boundary dispute, discovered a sword and a spear and identified them as the main body of Isozaki Myojin, leading to the construction of a small shrine. In 1671, a new hall was completed, and a sacred mirror dedicated by Tokugawa Mitsukuni was enshrined as the main deity. In 1957, the large district name was changed to Aji-ka-ura Town, and the shrine became the current guardian shrine.
