History
Originally two separate shrines, Ayato Shrine and Kuni-chu Shrine, they were later merged. Tradition holds that it was founded in 521 CE (Keitai 15), and it was long revered as the Ujigami (local tutelary deity) of Kami-Kuse. During the Sengoku period, Kuni-chu Shrine was relocated within the precincts of Ayato Shrine. The two were rebuilt as a single shrine building in 1936, and the deity was enshrined at the current location in 1964.

What visitors say
The shrine is situated beneath the Shinkansen elevated tracks, so the sound of trains can be heard. The office is open only on limited days, so visitors should check the availability of Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seal stamps) in advance. A small parking area is discreetly available nearby, but accessing the shrine by car is not easy. The shrine grounds are more spacious and substantial than the exterior might suggest.
