History
The shrine was founded in 931 CE (Joen 1) when Toyota Masaki, the first lord of the Toyota clan who held power in the surrounding area during the medieval period, invited a branch spirit (bunrei) from Kamo Betsurai Jinja (Kamo Betsurai Shrine) in Kyoto. It is considered one of the Three Thunder Deities of the Kanto region, alongside Betsurai Kōtaishin in Mito, Ibaraki Prefecture, and Raiden Jinja (Raiden Shrine) in Itakura, Ibaraki-gun, Gunma Prefecture.

What visitors say
Located along a river, this shrine is characterized by its solemn shrine buildings. Before sunset, fallen ginkgo leaves decorate the grounds, allowing visitors to enjoy worship in a quiet environment. During festivals such as Hatsumode (the first shrine visit of the New Year), stalls line the area and it becomes lively, but on weekdays it is quiet and sparse, offering a calm atmosphere for worship.
