History
Founded during the Genkō era (1321–1324 CE), the shrine was established by the feudal lord Toyoshima Kagemura, who enshrined a branch spirit (bunrei) from Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine) as the guardian deity of Sumida Village. In the past, influenced by the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism, the Ten Rasha Nyō (Ten Fierce Female Deities) were also enshrined here. However, due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the early Meiji period, they are now enshrined in the Ten Rasha Nyō Hall at Tōfuku-ji Temple.

What visitors say
Despite being located in the bustling commercial district near Otsuka Station, the shrine grounds exude a quiet and solemn atmosphere. A symbolic pair of ginkgo trees, a stone-paved approach, and Shinto-style (Shinmei-zukuri) buildings create a refreshing landscape. Please note that the hours for receiving Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) may vary depending on the operating status of the shrine office, so it is advisable to check in advance.
