History
Established in 794 CE (Enryaku 13) during the construction of Heian-kyō, it was one of the four Tai Shogun Shrines enshrined by Emperor Kanmu at the cardinal points of the capital to protect the inner palace. Fujiwara no Kaneie's Higashi-Sanjō Palace was located in this area, but it was ruined during the Ōnin War. Today, the shrine preserves the historical site name as the Higashi-Sanjō Branch within its grounds.

What visitors say
Situated in a quiet spot just one street off the main road, the shrine is marked by a massive ginkgo tree said to be 800 years old. The grounds include several subsidiary shrines, offering a serene atmosphere for worship. Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) are available in a case placed in front of the office, but the shrine may be unattended at times. It is recommended to check the opening status via social media or other channels in advance.
