History
Tradition holds that the shrine was founded in 648 CE (Taika 4). Its origins are said to trace back to migrants from Shinano Province who enshrined a branch spirit (bunrei) from Suwa Grand Shrine. During the Edo period, the Mizoguchi clan of Niigata Domain relocated the shrine within the castle grounds, and it was moved to its current location in 1688 CE (Genroku 1). The shrine buildings were destroyed by fire in 2001 but were rebuilt in 2004.
