History
It is said to have been founded by Sakanoue no Tamamaro, who prayed for victory during the Ezo wars. In the medieval period, the Wa clan donated shrine lands. During the Edo period, the head of the Nanbu domain confirmed the shrine's land holdings. In the early Meiji period, the shrine became independent from Narashima-ji Temple, which had served as its Buddhist steward (Bettō).
