History
The shrine was founded in 1590 CE (Tensho 18). It is said that Sojo Mon'ou, a monk of Renkoji Temple, enshrined the deity from Kumano in Kii Province. In October 1933, the opening of Chuo-dori Street resulted in the street separating the shrine from Renkoji Temple.

What visitors say
Situated near the station, this is a shrine of a size that allows for a casual visit. The grounds feature several highlights, including a large statue of a Yataro (crows), a figure-eight torii for love connections, and a tunnel of ema (wooden prayer plaques). Visitors can also enjoy experiences such as ring toss and a reflexology path. The process of ordering Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) and omamori (amulets) is smooth, involving filling out an order form. There is a coin parking lot nearby.
