History
The shrine was founded during the Muromachi period when Ota Dōgon enshrined a deity from Fushimi Inari Taisha (Fushimi Inari Grand Shrine) to ward off evil from the northeast direction of Edo Castle. In 1659 CE (Manji 2), it was relocated to its current site during the construction of the Edo Castle embankment and became known as one of the 'Three Forests of Edo.' After being destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake and subsequent fires, restoration was completed in 1986 CE (Shōwa 61).

What visitors say
Situated along a river within walking distance of Akihabara Station, the shrine offers a quiet environment for worship. The grounds feature a small shrine dedicated to 'Otanuki-sama' (Raccoon Dog Deity), adorned with scattered statues of raccoon dogs. The pond contains medaka (rice paddy fish) and frogs, and benches are available for rest. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) are available in a self-service format where visitors stamp their own books using seals provided in the building. The initial offering fee is paid by placing coins in the offering box.
