History
Originally founded on Tenno-dai (Heavenly Terrace) near Sawara Suwa-yama in ancient times. During the early Edo period, in the Tenwa era (with some theories suggesting a date prior to the Tensho era), the deity was transferred to the current location, and the shrine became the chief guardian deity of the Sawara and Honjuku districts. In the early Meiji period, when the shrine buildings were renovated, a front gate was added on the side facing the current Yappichi Market.
