This shrine was founded during the muromachi period (1338-1573) by matasaburo busshoin, a local influential figure, who received a divided spirit of "muro no myojin" and established it as the village's guardian shrine. because this area was a picturesque rural landscape overgrown with cattails, the shrine adopted this name in 1909 (meiji 42). even today, there is a large camphor tree on the grounds, making it a very pleasant shrine. <from "yodogawaku fureai map" published by the yodogawa ward community association>
