History
Founded between 1004 and 1012 CE (Kankyo era) by Minamoto no Yorishige in the area around Kasumigaseki, it is said to have been relocated to its current site by Ota Dōkan during the Muromachi period. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the early Meiji period, it was converted from a sub-temple of the Tendai sect's Kan'ei-ji Temple into a shrine. The shrine buildings were destroyed in the Tokyo Air Raids but were rebuilt in 1953 using entirely hinoki (Japanese cypress) wood. Recently, the main hall was dedicated through a ceremony as part of the 'Reiwa Imperial Renovation Project.'
