History
Founded in 1202 CE when Toyoshima Tsuneyasu invited the deity from Suwa Taisha. During the Edo period, it was revered as the general guardian shrine for Yanaka-machi and Nippori-mura, and was relocated to its current site in 1635 CE (Kan'ei 12). Although damaged by air raids in 1945 CE (Shōwa 20), it was restored in 1952 CE (Shōwa 27).
