History
享禄2年（1529年）、橋本源左衛門・孫左衛門の兄弟が園部川の河口で御神体を発見したことに始まる。享禄3年には小川城主によって、陽神の素戔嗚尊を城外に、陰神の櫛稲田姫命を城内に分祠して祀った。天保11年に現在の社号に改められ、明治2年に現在の高台へ遷座された。

What visitors say
The shrine grounds exude a simple yet solemn atmosphere, with the autumn foliage near the torii gate being a particular highlight. Cat-themed Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) and Omamori (amulets) are extremely popular, often drawing long queues especially on Cat Day. The area is accessible by car or bus, with parking lots and a library located nearby.
