History
The shrine originated as the clan deity of Kawaguchi Sojiro, who moved from Hitachi Province to Akita in 1598 (Keicho 7). In 1620 (Genroku 6), it was relocated to its current site at the ruins of Dewa Minato Castle, where it has been worshipped as the chief guardian of the Dozaki port town. It was classified as a Prefectural Shrine in 1881 (Meiji 14) and joined the Association of Shinto Shrines after World War II.

What visitors say
This large-scale shrine is within walking distance from Dozaki Station and visible from the street leading from the station. The grounds have a quiet atmosphere, with several subsidiary shrines arranged facing the main hall. While the area becomes lively during the summer Hikiyama festival, visitors can also receive Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) written directly by hand.
