Although the historical details are a little vague, this shrine’s origins are said to date to date to 111 AD during the reign of the 12th emperor, Keikō, by his son, Yamato Takeru. When on his way to northern Honshu to subdue the Yemishi people he stopped along the coast and built a small shrine in a grove of ancient cedars near what was then the village of West Ushioda.
By the middle ages Ushioda village was part of the Odawara Hojo Clan domain. In 1561 the then leader of the domain, Ota Shinrokuro, a grandson of Ota Dokan, the builder of Edo Castle, rebuilt two shrines in Ushioda, Sugiyama Jinja in East Ushioda, and Mitake Jinja in West Ushioda. Both shrines were said to have originated during Yamato Takeru’s stopover in the area described above. Early in the Edo Period, 1644-1648 to be precise, the estate steward, Matsushita Sonjuro, carried out reconstruction work on the orders of the Shogunate and donated new land to the shrine.
Moving into modern times, the development of the Keihin Industrial Zone started in 1919 and this necessitated the combining of the Sugiyama and Mitake shrines in what is the current location of the shrine. The new entity took the name of Ushioda Jinja. The shrine was badly damaged in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the May 1945 firebombings. In 1984 the current main hall was built; this was followed five years later by a new shrine office, and in 1993 a new torii was erected.
