Located in Ota City, Ibaraki Prefecture, this shrine held the old rank of Gōsha (village shrine).

History
The shrine's origins date back to the Eikyō period (around 1400 CE), when Satake Yoshihito invited the deity from Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine to enshrine within Ota Castle. It later received the patronage of the Tokugawa family of Mito, and in the 5th year of Hōei (1708 CE), the shrine buildings were relocated to the current site. Additionally, due to the transfer of the Satake clan, the shrine's spirit was also enshrined as the guardian deity of Odate Hachiman Shrine.
