History
According to shrine tradition, a retainer of Emperor Ojin (Japan's 11th emperor) stayed behind and established the shrine. In 1716 CE (Kyouho 1), wealthy residents of Yokote Town built the shrine as the guardian deity of the outer town. It was relocated to its current site in 1880 CE (Meiji 13). Over many years, it merged with numerous other shrines, and the grounds are now lined with many small subsidiary shrines.
