History
In 1893 CE (Meiji 26), the main hall was constructed enshrining Amaterasu-ōmikami and Konohanasakuya-hime-no-mikoto, and the shrine was named Asahikawa Shrine after the village name. In 1899 CE (Meiji 32), Amaterasu-ōmikami was formally enshrined, and during the Taisho era, the shrine was designated as a Kyoja (Prefectural Shrine). The current shrine buildings were completed in 1927 CE (Showa 2), and extensive repairs, including re-roofing, were carried out in 2002 CE (Heisei 14).
