History
Founded in 202 CE (2nd year of Empress Jingū's regency), the shrine enshrines three deities who were prayed to for the victory of Emperor Chūai. During the Nara period, it received the honor of the Meishin-sai, and in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex), it was listed as a major shrine (Shiken taisha). Although it declined once due to war, it was revived by Ashikaga Takauji and Akizuki Motuyuki. Due to the faith of Kuroda Nagamasa, it was designated as the head shrine of the Shimoza District.

What visitors say
This shrine allows prayers for both matchmaking and the dissolution of relationships. The grounds are bright and well-maintained. A distinctive feature is that there are multiple shrines behind the main hall, allowing visitors to worship them all at once. There is a parking lot nearby, and the office accepts payments for omamori (protective amulets) and Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) via cashless methods.
