Jinbei Kagaya initially installed his native guardian god of water at
the mouth of the Yamato River in 1755, and it was relocated to its current
position in 1837, at the same time as two more deities, the sun goddess
and Hitomaro Kakinomoto.
Meanwhile, Takasago's main shrine was razed by fire in 1835, after which
it was reconstructed in 1839 as the ancestral guardian of the new Kagaya
rice fields. In December 1957, a resting place for portable shrines was
established in Kitajima-cho 2-chome (present day Hirabayashi-minami 2-chome),
and the shrine was named Takasaki Shrine, guardian of Zaimoku-cho in October
1959. Subordinate shrines are Gosha and Otada Daimyojin Shrines. |
