History
Originally located in the village of Takashima on Lake Suwa, the shrine was constructed using funds from shipbuilding coins. It was relocated to its current site during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's construction of Takashima Castle. During the Edo period, it was revered as the protective deity of the Takashima Domain's castle. Since the Meiji era, it has been worshipped as the local tutelary deity (Ujigami) of Odawara Village, gathering devotion from common people.

What visitors say
Located in a residential area, accessible via a narrow road off the national highway. A distinctive feature is that hot spring water flows through the purification fountain (temizuya), emitting a scent of sulfur. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are prepared in boxes at the shrine office, and visitors may sometimes need to fill them out themselves.
