History
Tradition holds that the shrine was founded during the reign of Emperor Suinin. It has been known as Uonuma Shrine since the Heian period. During the Sengoku period, because it enshrined the same deity as Yahiko Shrine, it was called Kamiahihiko Shrine. In the era of Uesugi Kenshin, it was recorded as Kamiahihiko Daimyojin. Around the end of the Edo period, it began to be called Uonuma Shrine, and it was designated as a Prefectural Shrine during the Meiji period.

The shrine grounds include the Amida Hall, an Important Cultural Property of Japan, which historically served as a portable shrine storage (Mikura) during the period of separation of Shinto and Buddhism. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) are often provided upon prior phone contact from parishioners, and visitors may occasionally be allowed to view the interior of the main hall. The shrine is located approximately 35 to 40 minutes on foot from Koshi Station.
