History
The shrine was founded as 'Se Shrine' after a deity statue washed away by a flood was dammed at this location. It was later renamed 'Seki Shrine.' In 1873, it became a village shrine of Maekawa Village, and in 1965, it was renamed to its current name, 'Maekawa Shrine.' Due to a fire caused by lightning in 1512, which destroyed the shrine buildings and old records, the exact year of founding is unknown.

What visitors say
Despite being located in a residential area, the shrine exudes a calm and quiet atmosphere, feeling isolated from its surroundings. The grounds are well-maintained, featuring a large Zelkova tree, the sound of wind chimes, and guardian lion-dogs (Komainu). A parking lot is available, and facilities for worship are well-equipped, including the distribution of Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) and the sale of Sae ema (votive plaques).
