History
The shrine originated during the Eiroku era when the deity was enshrined in the Dotsu Valley of Kasuga. After suffering damage from wars and disasters, the worship hall (haiden) was constructed on the Yokojima site during the Gen'ō era. The main hall (honden) was rebuilt in 1909 (Meiji 42), and the worship hall and shrine office underwent major renovations in 1930 (Shōwa 5).

What visitors say
The shrine grounds are well-maintained, and a slope leads to the worship hall, making it accessible for wheelchair users. As the head shrine of snake deity worship, many snake houses are dedicated behind the shrine buildings. There is a large parking lot, but since the rear area is a residential road, checking navigation is recommended.
