This is one of the nine Hikawa Jinja located in Kawaguchi-shi in Saitama-ken. It does have a homepage, but that concerns itself more with the for fee services the shrine offers rather than describing its history. It is subordinate to Chinjyu Hikawa Jinja. Its home page tells us that it was founded sometime during the Tensho Era (1573-1592), the first year of which marked the end of the Muromachi Period. In June 1907 two nearby Inari Jinja were merged into it. During the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 the shrine was basically destroyed, and it was July 1938 before it was rebuilt. It was rebuilt again in 2003.

There is a large gingko tree in the shrine grounds and this is regarded as a symbol of the shrine. It was designated as a tree worthy of preservation in the year 2000.
