It is located about 2 kilometers north of the current Izushi city area.The Ishrine is the center of the legend of Prince Amenohiboko of Silla, which is recorded in the "Kojiki" and "Nihon Shoki", who settled in this area during the reign of Emperor Suinin.

It appears after that in the various historical chronicles in the Heian period, including the Engishiki and the Wamyō Ruijushō and the Nihon Kiryaku.

During the Muromachi period, the main castle of the powerful Yamana clan was located to the north of this shrine.

It was rebuilt by 1525; however, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi occupied the area in 1580, he confiscated the territory of the Yamana clan, and the shrine fell into decline.

The current buildings date from the 1914 reconstruction and are a Tangible Cultural Property of Toyooka city.
