This shrine is thought to date back to 1899, when a local farmer came across a tiny shrine in his field after a typhoon. He dug it out, and after returning home placed it under the eaves of his storehouse. However, his household soon became plagued with warts and other unpleasant skin ailments.
To placate the unhappy spirit, the farmer built a shrine for the sacred object in 1901. As his family began paying their respects and praying at the new shrine, all their warts and skin issues started to miraculously disappear. The enshrined god became known as a curer of warts, attracting those seeking solace from across Japan.
