History
Legend holds that a deity was enshrined during the reign of Emperor Suinin (Suinin 7) to combat a plague. Another tradition states that during the Kangho era (Kangho 3) under Emperor Murakami, villagers enshrined Suwa Daimyojin as a guardian deity for land reclamation. In Tensho 21 (1552), Takeda Harunobu donated funds for the construction of the main hall (honden), which was later repaired in Joo 1 (1684). Since then, the shrine has been revered as a guardian deity for safe childbirth and granting children.
