History
It is considered a strong candidate for the site of the 'Mida Shrine' listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) under the Aichi District of Owari Province. Based on a sacred mirror bearing an inscription from 884 CE (Genkei 8), the shrine is believed to have been founded around that time. In 1425 CE (Ouei 32), records indicate that Yoshida Morishige, the lord of Iwazuka Castle and a member of the Ashikaga clan related to Ashikaga Takauji, repaired the shrine buildings.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds feature many points of interest, including an ancient tumulus, the Yobikawa Iwa (Sitting Rock) associated with Emperor Yamato Takeru, and sacred trees such as the Nagi tree. It is also well-suited for leisurely walks, especially when combined with the nearby riverbank. The pale orange worship hall (haiden), the impressive shimenawa (sacred straw rope), and the komainu (lion-dog statues) are distinctive features. The area becomes lively during the Kineko-sa Festival. A parking lot is available, but visitors should check the current status of Goshuin (shrine seal stamp) availability.
