History
In 1087 CE, Sho-kaku, the head priest of Daigo-ji Temple, enshrined a branch deity of Kumano Gongen at the foot of Mount Kanagawa (present-day Sachi-ga-tani), founding the shrine. Following incidents of the main hall burning down, relocation of the enshrined deities, and reconstruction after the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, the current shrine buildings were completed in 1963.

What visitors say
The shrine is within walking distance of JR Higashi-Kanagawa Station and Keikyu Higashi-Kanagawa Station. The well-maintained grounds feature imposing main halls, subsidiary shrines, and small shrines. Notable features include a powerful large torii gate and komainu (lion-dog statues), as well as a ginkgo tree estimated to be 400 years old. As the local Ujigami (protective deity of the community), it attracts many worshippers, and the environment allows for smooth visits even during Hatsumode (New Year's first shrine visit).
