History

The shrine is listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) as a deity of Takai District in Shinano Province, and the place name appears in Kamakura-period historical records. In the late Heian period, when the Inoue clan entered this region, they co-enshrined the Hachiman deities, which were the clan deity of the Minamoto clan. In 1873 CE (Meiji 6), it was ranked as a Gōsha (village shrine), and in 1919 CE (Taishō 8), it was elevated to the status of a Kensha (prefectural shrine).
