History
The shrine was founded in 931 CE (Joen 1) when Toyoda Masamoto, the first lord of the Toyoda clan which held power in the surrounding area during the medieval period, invited a branch spirit (bunrei) from Kamo Betsurai Shrine in Kyoto. It is considered one of the Three Thunder Shrines of Kanto, alongside Betsurai Kōtaishin in Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and Raiden Shrine in Itakura Town, Gunma Prefecture.
