According to the shrine's history, it was moved from Yamato during the reign of Emperor Sujin and called Daijingu, with a magnificent shrine building, but was destroyed by fire during the Onin War. The only remaining sacred mirror was enshrined and rebuilt, and the main hall, which was fully rebuilt in 1612, is a seven-bay shrine, rare nationwide, and is a magnificent Momoyama-style building. Due to its high historical value, it was designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan, but in 2008, just before the 400th anniversary of its reconstruction, it was completely destroyed in a suspicious fire. The current shrine building was completed in 2011, and is an accurate restoration of the original architectural style and vibrant decoration based on preserved documents and post-fire investigations that took more than six months, with the cooperation of parishioners and worshippers.
Every year on October 17th, during the autumn festival, a special ritual called "Donji" is held, in which people from each village make a procession and offer food to the gods. This ritual has been designated an intangible folk cultural asset of Suita City.
