History
The date of founding is unknown, but it is believed to have been established before the era of Tokugawa Ienari, the sixth shogun of the Edo period. A prominent theory suggests that in the Sho-ho period (1644–1647 CE), Tensho Shrine was divided into Shimo-Kamimeitenso Shrine and Jibukawa Shrine (also known as Kami-Kamimeitenso Shrine). Additionally, there is a tradition stating that during the Kamakura period, former retainers of Hojo Tokiyoshi's fifth son, Hojo Tokiyoshi (also known as Tokiyoshi's son Tokiyoshi? Note: The source says 'Hojo Shigetoki's fifth son, Tokiyoshi' but historically Shigetoki's sons were different. I will translate the names as written in the source: 'Hojo Shigetoki's fifth son, Tokiyoshi'), were moved by the fact that a gentle rain fell after their prayer for rain to the Dragon God, and they introduced a shrine to this location.

What visitors say
Located within walking distance of Shimo-Kamime Station, this shrine features a long, narrow approach path leading to a building with white exterior walls. The grounds include a small Inari shrine called Koichiro Inari-sha, and visitors can enjoy tea while waiting for their Goshuin (shrine seal stamp). The serene atmosphere of the grounds, filled with lush trees, harmonizes with the modern-style shrine buildings and the quiet space.
