According to the notice board in the shrine grounds this Inari Jinja was founded as a branch shrine of Fushimi Inari Daimyojin and its kami,  Uka-no-mitama-kami, was enshrined through the bunrei process when Kanda Myojin was established in 730 A.D. 1,143 years later, 1873, it became a subsidiary of the latter.
During the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 the Tsukasa-machi area in which the shrine is located escaped any real damage, but it was burned to the ground during the US firebombing of February 1945. A temporary shrine building was almost immediately rebuilt. This also housed two other nearby Inari Jinja which had been destroyed, and in 1952 the three shrines were formally combined and named Shintoku Inari Jinja.  Uka-no-mitama-kamithe kami of Fushimi Inari Daimyojin was ceremoniously enshrined.
