History
Oral traditions suggest that Minamoto no Yoritomo ordered安达 Fujikuro Morinaga to construct the shrine buildings, or that his companions built them. Other accounts state that the shrine was established during the Tenmon era (1531–1544 CE). It became a village shrine during the Meiji era, but the buildings were destroyed by fire during World War II. The current structures were rebuilt in 1971 CE (Shōwa 46). In 1948, a Weather Shrine, said to be the only one of its kind in the country, was relocated to the site.

What visitors say
Located near Takaoji Station and adjacent to a bustling shopping street, the shrine grounds offer a calm atmosphere. Highlights include the colorful flower hand-washing basin (hanatemizu) and the Weather Shrine, which enshrines the deity governing weather. The Goshuin (shrine seal stamp) design changes monthly, so it is recommended to have your stamp book ready in advance for a smoother visit.
