History
The shrine was founded in 1453 CE (Kotoku 2) when local villagers invited a branch spirit (bunrei) from Hikawa Shrine to enshrine here. It also served as the tutelary deity (chinkon) of Kamitakada Village. During the Chōroku era, Ōta Dōgan offered a single pine tree to the shrine, though it no longer remains today.

What visitors say
This quiet and serene shrine is within walking distance of Arai Yakushi-mae Station. Although the grounds are compact, visitors can feel a tranquil atmosphere with its stone walls, moss-covered grounds, and sturdy main hall (honden). A notable feature is the local-focused annual Grand Festival held in September, where visitors can enjoy the procession of the grand mikoshi (portable shrine) and the lively atmosphere of the festival stalls.
