History
Originally called Sagi Myojin, it was established in 1712 CE (Shōtoku 2) within the precincts of Kishitama Shrine. It gained reverence as a deity for warding off illness after the eldest son of the lord of the Izumo Domain's lower residence was cured of smallpox. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism during the Meiji Restoration, the shrine was relocated to its current site.

Located near a tram line, this shrine offers a tranquil atmosphere for worship away from the city's noise. The compact precincts are well-maintained, featuring unique offerings boxes symbolizing Hotei and Ebisu, as well as a Kagura hall (ritual dance hall). The autumn foliage is beautiful in season, and Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) are available.
