History
In 811 CE (Kōnin 2), on the 27th day of the 7th month, the deity was enshrined and settled here via invitation from Suwa Taisha (Upper Shrine) in Shinano Province. Since ancient times, it has served as a spiritual anchor for the local community, revered as a guardian deity of agriculture and, by extension, a fundamental deity of life.

The shrine grounds are very spacious, characterized by a long, well-maintained approach path and fresh air. Visitors can worship in a serene atmosphere. Seasonal highlights include the yellowing ginkgo leaves and omikuji (fortune slips) shaped like cherry blossoms. Located within walking distance of Tachikawa Station, the grounds also feature a well with water spouting from a dragon's mouth and a statue of Amabie.
