This shrine has a long history, going back to the time when Yugawara was developed by Shigeyuki Kaganosuke Futami and others. It is said that when Yoritomo Minamoto raised an army in Izu, Sanehira Jiro Doi, the head of the powerful local clan, prayed for his master Yoritomo's victory and offered the sword he carried at his waist to the shrine.
