History

Founded during the Heian period in Sasagoka Village, Akita District, the shrine was subsequently relocated to Ijudo Village during the Kamakura period, to Minato in 1589 (Tensho 17), and to Yahashi Village in 1615 (Genroku 1). It moved to its current location in 1662 (Kanbun 2) and was rebuilt in 1778 (An'ei 7). During the Meiji era, it was designated as a prefectural shrine, and it continues to be cherished by local residents today.
