    The shrine is located near a place called Tsutsuguchi, close to the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchi. Historically, this spot was known for its strong whirlpools and underwater currents, which frequently caused accidents and dangers to the local villagers. In 1193 (during the Kamakura period), the local community, seeking protection from these water hazards, built the shrine and enshrined a water deity, naming the shrine Tsutsuguchi Myojin.

    Bunmei 8 (1476): A worship hall was constructed.
    Eiroku 8 (1565): The shrine buildings were rebuilt, and it became the protective shrine of the local region of Kofunatsu.
    Horeki 4 (1754): The local villages Kofunatsu and Ofunatsu came together to purchase a portable shrine (mikoshi) for the deity’s processions, alternating each year with Hachioji Shrine.
    Horeki 6 (1756): The shrine received a formal offering and a name plaque from Urabe Kaneo, the head of the priestly family overseeing Shinto rites.
    Meiji 5 (1872): The shrine was officially designated as a village shrine.
    Meiji 40 (1907): It was registered as a shrine authorized to offer Shinto food offerings and rituals.
