History
The shrine is traditionally said to have been founded during the reign of Emperor Suinin or the Jogan era (859–877 CE), originating as a 'shin-sha' (pacifying shrine) established to protect the eastern provinces. During the Muromachi and Sengoku periods, it received the patronage of the Oami Shogunate. In the Edo period, Matsudaira Yasunaga constructed the current shrine buildings. In the Meiji era, it was designated as a village shrine for Sarushima District and Nishi-Katsushika District, and it currently serves as the chief guardian shrine of the former Oami Town.
