History
Founded in 1857 CE (Ansei 4). Its origin lies in the dedication by Onuki Denbee, who established it as a dependent shrine of the Kobu-jo (Martial Arts School) to express gratitude for the fulfillment of his prayers to Inari Shrine. Because the site was designated as a firebreak area, it came to be revered as the deity of fire prevention. Additionally, as the surrounding area developed into a red-light district, it gained reverence as the deity of the entertainment industry.
