History
In 1658 CE (Manji 1), the shrine was established by receiving a branch spirit (bunrei) from Kami-no-Hara Hachimangu, under the instruction of the magistrate of Arita Sara-yama. During the Edo period, it was known as Arita Sara-yama Sōbyō Hachimangu and was revered by the potters of Arita ware. In the early Meiji era, it was renamed to its current name, and in 1872 CE (Meiji 5), it was designated as a village shrine (sonsha).

What visitors say
This shrine has a distinctive charm unique to the region, characterized by a torii gate and komainu made of Arita ware porcelain. A notable feature is the railway track passing through the shrine grounds, leading to a unique view at the top of a steep stone staircase. The omamori shop offers pottery charms and accepts requests for Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seals). The overall atmosphere, including the surrounding environment, is highly individualistic.
