History
Founded in 1915 by Ninomiya Chiyata, who succeeded in Japan's first powered model flight experiment, to console the spirits of victims of aviation accidents. The shrine was temporarily abandoned after Ninomiya Chiyata's death but was revived in 1955 by his son. In 1989, the grounds were expanded and renovated to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the principles of flight.
