History
The shrine was established in 1403 CE (Ōei 10). In 1610 CE (Keichō 15), prayers were offered for the difficult labor of the daughter of Mori Nakayōshi Munetada, resulting in a miraculous outcome and a donation of rice fields. In 1683 CE (Tenna 3), Yamaguchi Hikosaburō offered a sword in gratitude after being saved from the danger of a viper.
