History
Founded in 959 CE (Tentoku 3), it is said to have enshrined a branch spirit from Sumiyoshi Shrine in Chōshū Province. During the Kamakura period, it was designated as the head shrine of the 12 districts of Northern Musashi by Minamoto no Yoritomo and has been protected by successive lords. Under the modern shrine rank system established after the Meiji Restoration, it was classified as a Village Shrine and later elevated to a Township Shrine.
