A minor shrine listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) located in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, with a history of being revered as the general guardian deity of the four districts of Iwaki.
History
Tradition holds that it was founded in 806 CE (Dōtō 1). It is one of the seven Iwaki shrines listed in the Engishiki. In ancient times, it was said to be the general guardian deity of the four districts of Iwaki and was one of the 'Three Shrines of Hirajō,' the deities protecting the city, receiving reverence from successive lords of the Hirajō domain. It was reconstructed at its current location in 1826 CE (Bunsei 9) by Naotaka Naitō.

What visitors say
The shrine features impressive buildings, and subsidiary shrines such as Yasaka Shrine and Tenmangū are scattered throughout the grounds. Visitors must climb a long slope to reach the worship area, but using the stairs on the side makes it easier. There is a parking lot within the grounds, but it lacks clear markings or signs, so caution is advised. Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) can be obtained as a handwritten copy at the distribution office.
