History
The shrine originated as the chief guardian of the Daishi Kawara reclamation project, enshrining Emperor Nintoku in recognition of his achievements in the Yodo River flood control works. The exact date of founding is unknown, but the earliest recorded reference appears in the 'Odawara Shu Shoryo Ekicho' (Ledger of Odawara Domain Holdings) from 1559 CE (Eiroku 2), which lists a land grant of three koku. The shrine became independent from Hirama-ji Temple during the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era.
