As the head shrine of the ancient province of Uppō, this shrine was the site where the provincial governor (kokushi) performed the ritual of offering sacred emblems (hōhei). The grounds house the 'Uppō Province Deity Name Register' (a list of deities enshrined in the province), designated as an Important Cultural Property by Gunma Prefecture, as well as the main hall (honden).

History
According to the shrine's tradition, its origins lie in Toyokiyohiruko-no-Mikoto, a son of Emperor Chūjin, who enshrined Futsunushi-no-Mikoto as a deity of war. The shrine was established as the head shrine of Uppō Province, following the trend in the mid-to-late Heian period of provincial governors building head shrines near their administrative offices. After being destroyed by fire in 1566 (Eiroku 9), it was rebuilt at its current location during the Genki era (1570–1573). A major restoration was carried out in 1616 (Genna 2) by Akimoto Yasutomo.
