History

Legends state that the shrine was founded in 718 CE (Yoro 2) when a practitioner named Kumasatsu introduced the deity from Hakusan Hime Shrine. Another legend traces its origin to the reign of Emperor Chūai, when Him Himemiya dug a well and planted a cherry tree. During the Heian period, it was recorded in the Engishiki as 'Hisu Shrine in Awa Province, Awa District.' It received deep reverence and land grants from Tokugawa Ieyasu. In the Meiji era, it was designated a Gōsha (a shrine of local importance), and in 1932, it was elevated to a Kensha (a prefectural shrine).
