History
The shrine's origins are said to trace back to 824 CE (Tenchō 5), when Princess Miyume passed away in this area. It is reported that Ennin, who visited later, enshrined her in memory. It served as the chief guardian shrine of the former Hyakuma domain and is also considered a candidate site for the Miyume Shrine listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) in Saitama District.

What visitors say
The shrine is accessible via a single straight road from Himegū Station, though caution is advised as the path near the railway crossing is narrow. The grounds feature historic shrine buildings that evoke a sense of age, creating a quiet and serene atmosphere. Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) can be obtained by contacting the shrine priest in advance. The surrounding area is also notable for the presence of several ancient burial mounds (kofun).
