History
There are theories that the shrine was founded during the reign of Emperor Kinmei or in the second year of the Shōwa era (1313 CE). It is believed to have originated when Ibagura Gongen was enshrined to quell an epidemic in the Sama district. During the Meiji era, due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, Yamato Takeru was enshrined as a deity of fire prevention, similar to Ibagura Gongen, and the shrine was classified as a village shrine.

What visitors say
The parking lot is located in a hard-to-find spot, so caution is required; the second parking lot is recommended for large vehicles. Visitors must climb approximately 50 steps to enter the shrine grounds, where a quiet space surrounded by nature awaits. Many visitors come with pets, and the shrine offers a wide variety of offerings, including Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp), cute omamori (protective charms), and ema (votive tablets).
