History
The shrine's origins date to 948 CE (Tenryaku 2), when a local county magistrate named Fujiwara enshrined the Four Great Deities of Kasuga at this site, where the spirit of Kasuga Taisha had temporarily rested during its transfer from Kishima Jingu (Kishima Grand Shrine). During the Bunkitsu era, Makichō Kiyoshi built shrine buildings as the family deity of his clan. The shrine subsequently received the reverence of the Owari Domain lords and became widely venerated as a guardian deity for childbirth. The buildings were destroyed by fire during the 1945 air raids, and reconstruction began in 1958.

What visitors say
Despite its location in the bustling Osu commercial district, the shrine grounds exude a quiet atmosphere. The vermillion worship hall (haiden) and main hall (honden) are visually striking, and visitors are greeted by koma deer (sacred deer) distinguished by the presence or absence of antlers, rather than the typical koma inu (guardian lions). While shopping streets surround the area, there is no parking on-site, so visitors should use nearby coin-operated parking lots. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) are not distributed.
