History
It is said that Yamana Yoshinori enshrined the kami here, inviting them from Usa Jingu in Hyuga Province during the An'ei era, and constructed the shrine buildings during the Bunchi era. During the Oei era, when Prince Yorihira of the Southern Court stayed in the area, the daughter of Sera Masayoshi became pregnant with the prince's child and prayed at this shrine for a safe delivery. The shrine was designated as a Kotaijinja (village shrine) in 1871 (Meiji 4).
