A shrine listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) located in Nagano City. It is one of the three shrines that serve as the guardians of Zenkoji Temple (Zenkoji Sanjingu) and one of the seven shrines associated with Zenkoji Temple. It belongs to the Suwa lineage of shrines and holds the Omazutsu Festival (a ritual involving the installation of sacred pillars) in the years of the Tiger and Monkey.

History

The founding date is unknown. The enshrined deity is Tsumakari-hime-no-mikoto, the consort of Takemikazuchi-no-kami, or it is said to be the shrine of the consort of Take-mikazuchi-tomi-no-mikoto-hiko-kami-betsu, which was the Grand Shrine of the entire Suwa district. It is listed as a shrine in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) from the mid-Heian period. Since ancient times, it has been called one of the 'Zenkoji Sanjingu' (Three Guardian Shrines of Zenkoji) along with Takei Shrine and Yufuku Shrine. It was elevated to a Koya (local shrine) in 1873 (Meiji 6) and to a Kenya (prefectural shrine) in 1931 (Shōwa 6).
