History
It is said that the shrine's origins date back to 899 CE (Choho 2) during the mid-Heian period, when it was established as the guardian shrine (chinju-sha) of the Teijoin residence, where Emperor Uda spent his later years. During the Azuchi-Momoyama period, the shrine was relocated to its current site due to urban redevelopment led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

What visitors say
This small shrine is located immediately south of Sai-ji Temple, facing a roadway. It blends seamlessly into the surrounding scenery and can easily be overlooked, but it is well-maintained. The deities are enshrined with dignity, allowing visitors to worship in a quiet atmosphere.
