History
The shrine's origins are said to trace back to Toyokiyohiruko-no-Mikoto, a son of Emperor Suinin, who enshrined Futsunushi-no-Mikoto as a war deity. During the mid-to-late Heian period, provincial governors began establishing Soja (head shrines) near the provincial government offices to offer ceremonial silk, and this shrine served as the Soja of Ueno Province. It was destroyed by fire during a military conflict in 1566 (Eiroku 9) and was rebuilt at its current location during the Genki era (1570-1573).
