It is estimated to have been built in Bunka 4 (1807), and the decorative carvings and painted dragon carvings are magnificent.

Long ago, people who were hit by a great flood and were short of food worshipped the god of grain and called the shrine Komagata Shrine.

It is said that the following year the grains ripened greatly .

The enshrined deity is Ukemochi no Okami, and the area was flooded between 1111 and 1151 .

Repeated droughts caused severe famine to the inhabitants.

So in 1151, Komagata Shrine was built to enshrine the god of grains , and the following year there was a good harvest, so the name of the area was changed from Kawasaki-go to Yasujiki-go, as "people will surely be able to find food in abundance."
