Founded in the 9th century, it was originally located within Takatsuki Castle. It was also known as the shrine of Gozu Tenno, and it was highly revered by successive lords of the castle. The deities enshrined are Nomino Sukune and Susanoo-no-Mikoto, and it is believed to have moved from the former Shikinai Shrine, Nomi Shrine, which was located near Jōgū Tenmangū. The Nagai Shrine, dedicated to Naokiyo, the first lord of the Takatsuki Domain, stands in the lush green grounds. Its main hall and karamon gate are designated cultural properties of the city, and votive plaques that evoke the appearance of the former Takatsuki Castle are offered.
