Founded in 842 CE (Chōwa 9) by Fujiwara Itaseyu, the provincial governor of Kai Province, by imperial decree. In 1004 CE (Kankō 1), Sugawara no Michizane was enshrined as a subsidiary deity, which is the origin of the name 'Sugata Tenjin.' It has long been regarded as the guardian shrine of the Kai Minamoto clan and received particular protection from the Kai Takeda clan.
