History
It is said that the shrine was founded during the reign of Emperor Tenmu or in the Taiho era in Nagano-sho Imashijimachi, and was revived during the Engi era. In 1610 (Keicho 15), Tokugawa Ieyasu relocated the enshrined deities to the current site, where it was worshipped as the ancestral shrine of the Owari Tokugawa clan during the Edo period. It was elevated to the status of a Prefectural Shrine in 1877 (Meiji 10) and is currently listed as a Special Shrine under the Association of Shinto Shrines.
