The origins are unclear, but it is said to have been founded during the reign of Emperor Kōshō (the 5th emperor, 5th century BCE) or even earlier. During the Edo period, it was known as Hikawa Myojinja. The current shrine buildings were destroyed by fire during World War II and rebuilt in 1951.

What visitors say
Located about a 5-minute walk from Shimo-Otai Station, the shrine offers easy access. The relatively spacious grounds feature impressive structures, including a large torii gate, a stately main hall (honden), and artistic komainu (lion-dog statues). The atmosphere is calm and removed from the city's hustle and bustle, allowing visitors to enjoy seasonal flowers. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available here, and the shrine also accepts requests for goshuin from affiliated shrines.
