History
The shrine's origins date back to 1887 (Meiji 20), when military farming troops settled in the Shinkotoni area and erected a small shrine to enshrine three deities as guardians of the new settlement. In 1925 (Taisho 14), it was classified as a village shrine. In 1953 (Showa 28), it received certification as a religious corporation from the Hokkaido Prefectural Government. Subsequently, the main hall and shrine office underwent several renovations and expansions. In 2007 (Heisei 19), a grand festival was held to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the shrine's founding.
