History
It is said to have been founded during the reign of Emperor Keiko and was later designated as a site of imperial prayer by Emperor Koto. In 1611 (Keichō 16), the Edo Shogunate donated Black Seal Land, which was converted to Red Seal Land the following year. In 1918 (Taishō 7), it was classified as a Gōsha (village shrine) and later elevated to a Kenya (prefectural shrine).
