History
Around 1202 CE (Kenen 2), during the reign of Emperor Tsuchimikado, a shrine was established in the current Makimachi district of Sano City to enshrine Gozu Tenno in order to ward off a widespread plague and secure a good harvest. In 1339 CE (Karyo 2), the shrine buildings were swept away by a summer flood.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds feature a magnificent ginkgo tree, and the shrine is beloved by the local community for its dignified atmosphere. The main hall (honden) is a highlight, boasting beautiful carvings and intricate joinery. Goshuin (the shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) can be received at the priest's residence located next to the torii gate; it is helpful to memorize the number displayed next to the worship hall (haiden) to streamline the process. Visitors should note that the parking area can be difficult to locate.
