The founding of Imamori Shrine and Shikakura Shrine is unknown, but they are worshipped as gods of hunting (mountain gods). The present Imamori Shrine was reconstructed in 1953, and before that it was a shrine with a thatched roof, but according to the reconstruction memorandum (written on a board) displayed in the hall of worship, "In the 126th year of the previous construction, from Bunsei 10 to Showa 28, the Oyabu villagers agreed to reconstruct the shrine through peaceful consultation. The construction was started on 12 December 1953 and completed on 23 December 1953, and at the same time, the shrine was moved to a new location with a night service.
