It is the guardian deity of the former Nakaarai village, and the founding date is unknown. The shrine is said to have been the main deity of Tenmangu Shrine, followed by Gozu Tenno. Later, a branch of the deity was enshrined from Hikawa Shrine, the Ichinomiya of Musashi Province in Omiya, and it became the current deity worshipped here.
