History
Shrine tradition holds that its origins date back to the era of Emperor Chūjin, when Toyokiyohiruko-no-Mikoto enshrined Futsunushi-no-Mikoto. It was established as the Sōsha of Uppō Province, following the trend of the mid-to-late Heian period where provincial governors built Sōsha shrines near their administrative offices. After burning down in 1566 CE (Eiroku 9), it was rebuilt on its current site during the Genki era (1570–1573 CE). Major repairs were carried out in 1616 CE (Genna 2) by Akimoto Yasutomo.
