History
Founded in the 2nd year of Yoro (718 CE) as Tamonten Shrine, it enshrined Maeda Toshiie, the founder of the clan, under the name Ushin Hachimangu. It was successively revered as a place of prayer for the feudal lords. In the Meiji era, it was renamed Utasu Shrine, and in the 35th year of Meiji (1902 CE), it was elevated to the status of a Kensha (prefectural shrine).

What visitors say
Located deep within the Higashi Chaya district, this playful shrine features ninjas placed around its grounds. Highlights include komainu (lion-dog statues) with unique poses and statues resembling babies. Although the approach is narrow, parking is convenient within the precincts. The scenery is particularly beautiful during the fresh green season and autumn foliage.
