History
Originally venerated as a path guardian deity (dōzoshin) at the entrances and exits of roads, this deity became associated with Koshin belief due to the character for 'monkey' in its name. Since then, festivals have been held on Koshin days, which occur every 60 days, attracting devotees seeking the removal of misfortune and the arrival of happiness. As of October 2021, shrine priests have been stationed on-site permanently.

What visitors say
A shrine quietly situated along Meiji-dori, known as a deity for warding off evil and improving fortune. The grounds feature statues of monkeys, and the office accepts applications for Goshuin (shrine seal stamps). The surrounding area has limited parking and roads are prone to congestion, so using public transportation is convenient. Monkey masks are distributed on specific days, such as Koshin days and during the summer festival.
