History
The exact date of its founding is unknown, but the presence of a hand-water stone (temizuya) dedicated in 1699 suggests that the shrine existed during the early Edo period. Under the modern shrine rank system established after the Meiji Restoration, it was classified as a village shrine (sonsha) and served as the chief guardian shrine of the former Kohoku Village. The main hall (honden) was rebuilt in 1833, and the worship hall (haiden) was rebuilt in 1875.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds are compact, but they have a lively atmosphere with many informational signs and small subsidiary shrines. The Goshuin (shrine seal stamp) is famous, and sometimes a poem (waka) is written on it. A notable feature is the car purification ritual (kuruma-harai), which is conducted for one group at a time within designated time slots. Additionally, the shrine allows worship 24 hours a day.
