Today it houses the patron deity of the people of Abeno. The former main shrine was built in 1682 and moved and renovated in 1908. The Otokoyama Hachiman Shrine was built in Semba Azuchimachi in 1688, and was moved (relocation of the deity) to the Abeno site in 1907, in accordance with the Shrine Enshrinement Law in force at the time. The Semba district was burnt down in an air raid during World War II, and the former main pavilion of the Otokoyama Hachiman Shrine is the only remnant of what the Semba Shrine looked like in the Edo period.
