History
Until the Edo period, the shrine was known as 'Shinmei' and was also called 'Benten-sama' because Benzaiten was enshrined there. It is said that during the early Edo period, donations were made by Tokugawa Mitsuhiro and Matsudaira Tadayoshi, and prayers for bountiful harvests were offered. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism (Shinbutsu Bunri), Benzaiten was moved to Taihei-ji Temple, and the site is now identified as Kawahara Shrine.
