History

It is said that Minamoto no Yoshitsune established a small shrine and enshrined the deity at Hiben Takada during his campaign against the Northern Fujiwara. Later, Watanabe Tōshirō, a local warrior from Iida, built the current shrine buildings on the present site and transferred the deity's spirit there. In 1872 (Meiji 5), it was designated as a village shrine. Today, it continues to be venerated as the guardian deity of Iida.
