History
It is said to have been founded in the Nagoya market area during the reign of Emperor Tenmu or in the Daiho era, and was re-established in the Engi era. In 1610 CE (Keicho 15), Tokugawa Ieyasu relocated the shrine to its current location. During the Edo period, it served as the family shrine of the Owari Tokugawa clan and the chief guardian of Nagoya. In 1877 CE (Meiji 10), it was elevated to the status of a Prefectural Shrine, and is currently listed as a Special Table Shrine by the Association of Shinto Shrines.
