History
The founding date is unknown, but the shrine was relocated from Yoshida in Takada District to this area, then known as 'Shi no Machi' (Market Town), in the 8th year of Keicho (1603 CE). According to tradition, a town elder named Zenya Matabei heard of the blessings of the Hige deity from a geisha named Kiyoshi and requested Masanori Fukushima to move the shrine. In the 4th year of Meiji (1871 CE), it became a subsidiary shrine of Tsuruhane Shrine, though its rituals have continued to be managed by the neighborhood association.
