History
The shrine's origins date back to the reign of Emperor Keiko, when Yamato Takeru prayed for the pacification of the eastern region. It was originally known as 'Hishirin'. In 901 CE (Engi 1), it was relocated to its current site, and around 927 CE (Enchō 5), it adopted its current name. Although the shrine buildings were destroyed by fire during the Ōnin War, they were restored in the Edo period. Today, it is revered as the chief guardian shrine of the Ichinoseki area.

What visitors say
The path from the parking lot to the main hall (honden) involves climbing approximately 400 steep stone steps. There is a parking area beneath the torii gate, and a well-maintained approach path passes by a horse-soul memorial stone. The precincts feature a massive pair of male and female cedar trees, and the surrounding area is enclosed by a citizen's forest, allowing visitors to worship in a quiet, nature-rich atmosphere.
