History

Founded in 650 CE (Hakuhki 1), it has long been worshipped as the guardian shrine of Yutagawa Onsen. It is listed in the Engishiki Jinmyocho (the official register of shrines in the Engishiki codex) as a Shikinaisha (officially registered shrine). The current main hall was expanded in 1882 (Meiji 15) by the master carpenter Takahashi Kanekichi.

What visitors say

Beloved as the guardian deity of the Yutagawa Onsen district, it is within walking distance from the hot spring town. The grounds feature a massive 'Mame Icho' (breast ginkgo tree), designated as a prefectural natural monument, which adds to the scenic charm. The approach path and stairs are covered in moss, creating an atmospheric setting that evokes a sense of history.
