History
Around 1618, the shrine was relocated from the mountains to its current site near the Kitakami River. It was featured in the Sendai Domain's geographical record, the Fugai Fuudoku, in 1772. The sacred boulder remained intact without falling during both the 1978 Miyagi-oki Earthquake and the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.

What visitors say
Visitors can see the striking sight of a boulder that looks as if it might fall but remains perched in place. The path to the shrine includes stairs that become steep partway up, so caution is advised for those with mobility issues. While a parking lot is available, wait times may occur during busy periods. The shrine office handles requests for Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) and Omamori (protective amulets).
