History and things to know
According to shrine tradition, it began in Kan'ei 2 (1625) when the priest 周清 of Keikōin set up a place for worshipping the two shrines of Ise from afar within his residence in Daikan-chō, Edo. After being caught in the Great Fire of Meireki, it received the present site in exchange, and after losing its shrine buildings in the war in Shōwa 20, it was rebuilt in Shōwa 27 by a group of sake wholesalers.
