History
Tradition holds that Minamoto no Yoriyoshi founded the shrine by inviting a branch spirit (bunrei) from Fushimi Inari Taisha to pray for victory in battle, or that Minamoto no Yoritomo rebuilt it. During the Muromachi period, it was revered by the Satake clan, and later by the Nanbu clan, who protected it and used it as a place for prayers by the feudal lords. It was elevated to the status of a prefectural shrine (Kenchu) during the Meiji era and is currently listed as a special shrine under the Association of Shinto Shrines (Jinja Honcho).

What visitors say
The grounds feature large trees and a moss-covered forest, enveloped in a solemn and pure atmosphere. There is a petting fox statue at the worship hall (haiden). Because there are changes in elevation, wearing sneakers is recommended. Caution is advised on snowy days as the ground can become slippery.
