 In 1871, the Arima family moved from Mita to Akasaka, taking the shrine with them, and in the following year they moved the shrine to its present location, on a site that had been occupied by one of the family's mansions.When the Japanese empire enforced the "Shinbutsu bunri", the official separation of Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, Varuna was identified with the Japanese supreme God, Amenominakanushi.Suitengūmae Station is close to this shrine and takes its name from it.
