History
It was enshrined around the Daidō era (806–810 CE) at Kameishi Plain and was protected by Iwaki Hangan, the Hira Masaka clan. Due to a great tsunami around the Bunmei era, the shrine was relocated to the top of Takijiri Mountain. In 1675, it was moved to its current location at the site of the Hangan Residence and designated as the prayer shrine of the Iizumi Domain. In 1873, the deities of Suwa and Hachiman were merged, and the shrine was classified as a Gōsha.
