History
Tradition holds that the shrine was founded during the Kaou period (1169–1172 CE). It is located in Watsu, which was once a bustling settlement along the road. The shrine was relocated to its current site in 1903 CE (Meiji 36). Seventeen divine statues and a pair of stone komainu (lion-dog guardians) are designated as municipal cultural properties. According to legend, Terute-hime, after parting from Oguri Bunno, prayed here for their reunion; thus, the shrine is also known as Terute-hime no Miya.
