History
The local area was reclaimed through the Minuma land reclamation project in 1728 CE (Kyōhō 13). Farmers involved in the reclamation established the shrine in 1760 CE (Hōreki 10) as a Benten-sha (a shrine dedicated to the goddess of water and wisdom).

What visitors say
This is a Sessha (a subsidiary shrine) located on a floating island in the sacred pond of Hikawa Shrine. If you enter via the back approach, the torii gate (traditional shrine gate) is right on your left. You can pass under the torii, cross a small bridge, and head toward the main hall (honden). Because it is situated in the pond, it offers beautiful scenery with seasonal flowers, the sound of water, and autumn foliage. There are also many sights to see, such as a rock cave behind the shrine buildings.
