History
Founded in the Heian period, the shrine is known for enshrining Minamoto no Tsunemoto, the progenitor of the Seiwa Genji clan. It is believed to have been established in 963 CE (Owa 3) when his eldest son, Minamoto no Masanaka, erected a monument at Tsunemoto's burial site and built a shrine hall in front of it. The reconstruction of the shrine hall was completed in 1701 CE (Genroku 14) through the efforts of Tokugawa Mitsukuni.
