History
It is said that the enshrined deity was invited from Ise Province in 903 CE (Engi 3). In 1910 (Meiji 43), surrounding shrines were consolidated into Yuhou Shrine. In 1960 (Showa 35), it was merged with Takayama Shrine and renamed Kannon Shrine at its current location. In 2002 (Heisei 14), the main hall was restored and the grounds were improved as part of a commemorative project marking the 1,100th anniversary of the shrine's founding.

What visitors say
Located in a residential area, the shrine is adjacent to a community center and a children's center. Cherry blossoms in the grounds put on a spectacular display in spring. While the shrine is lively during events such as the New Year's first visit (Hatsumode), it maintains a calm atmosphere on weekdays. Although there is parking available, it can be difficult to find a spot in some areas, so caution is advised.
