The shrine's architecture is characteristic of the traditional Tairō-style, with a distinctive hirairi zashiki structure featuring two separate main halls. The shrine has undergone several renovations throughout its history, including significant changes made during the Meiji period.

The shrine is said to have been established in 1629 as a branch shrine of the nearby Shimura Shrine. It was later rebuilt and expanded during the Edo period, with notable contributions from local samurai families.
