History
The shrine was founded in 784 CE (Enryaku 3) when Sakanoue no Tamamaru established a camp in the area and enshrined three deities. It was later revived by Minamoto no Raikou, Minamoto no Raishou, and Ota Dōgon, along with the Ota clan. Until the early Meiji period, it was treated as the chief tutelary shrine of Akabane. However, under the modern shrine rank system established in 1872 (Meiji 5), it was downgraded to a village shrine (Mura-ya).
