In the 5th year of Bunji (1189), at the time of Minamoto Yoritomo's conquest of Oshu, it is said that Reimu told him to enshrine Shinmei. After that, there were no palace guards, but during the Keian period (1648-1652), Horitango Mori Toshinao (Echigo Muramatsu feudal lord Hori Naokichi?) will be revived. In the Edo period, it was called Komagome Shinmeigu Shrine and was the chief guardian of Komagome Village. Although it was lost due to air raids, it was newly built in 1954 (Showa 29) due to the enthusiasm of each clan town, and it continues to the present. The locals used to call him "Okami-sama".
