History
Originally located in Ōmachi, current-day Utsunomiya City, the shrine was relocated to its present site in 1432 CE (Eikyō 2). During the Edo period, the shrine was known as 'Hirayana Daimyōjin.' At that time, the principal object of worship was the Bodhisattva Kūkōzō (Kokūzō Bosatsu), which is why the shrine is still colloquially referred to as 'Kokuzō-san' today.

What visitors say
Although the shrine is small in scale, the precincts are meticulously maintained and very clean. It enshrines the eel (unagi) as a messenger deity. Popular attractions include the 'nade-unagi' (petting eels) corresponding to the zodiac signs, seasonal Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps), and Goshuin notebooks featuring eel designs.
