History
During the Keian era, a tsunami struck the coastline near Onarigawa, devastating the farmland. To restore the land, a branch spirit of Fushimi Inari Taisha was enshrined as the local tutelary deity, marking the shrine's origin. Later, deities from Atago Shrine and Taro Inari, known as a deity of protection against epidemics, were merged into the shrine. In the fifth year of Genroku (1692 CE), the poet Matsuo Basho visited the shrine and composed a haiku, which is commemorated today.
