According to 'Record of the Ogawatsuki-jinja Shrine in Kuwata County, Tanba Province,' which was written in an unknown year and stored by the representatives of shrine parishioners, this shrine is said to have been a Massha (small shrine belonging to the main shrine) when the Ise-jingu Shrine was transferred to Yosa County, Tango Province, or a Massha when it was enshrined in Tanba Province, and it is also described as 'remaining from the mythological age.'
しかし、氏子総代保管の「丹波国桑田郡小川月神社之事」という年不明の文書に、伊勢神宮が丹後国与謝郡に遷座した時の末社であるとも、丹波国に鎮座していた時の末社であるともし、「神代よりの旧地なり」と記している。
