Shogunate, Minamoto Yoritomo, new shrine buildings were constructed. With the ascendancy of the Ashikaga Shōgunate, however, the shrine’s fortunes took a turn for the worse when its landholdings were cut back to just 20 koku because one of its chief priests at the time had close ties to the Nitta clan, one of the main enemies of the  Ashikagas. The Edo Period proved to be much better. Early in the period, perhaps under Hideyoshi, the shrine was given 20 koku of land, and after Tokugawa Ieyasu’s entry into the new capital it is said that he and Tenkai visited the shrine and presented it with a red gate (zuishin-mon) and a statue of a divine horse. The shrine’s proximity to the Kawasaki Juku, the second of the 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō, turned it into a tourist attraction, and together with the popularity of its annual festival, the Kawasaki Sannō Matsuri held on August 15, the shrine became so prosperous that it was sometimes referred to as the Gion of the East (東の祇園). Along with Shinbutsu bunri it was renamed Kawasaki Ōkami Inage Jinja (川崎大神稲毛神社), it was located in Musashi Province’s Inage-shō. Later in the Meiji Period the current name was adopted,

The current main hall was built in 1963 to replace the one destroyed in the 1945 fire bombing of Tōkyō. That one dated to the mid-Edo Period and its construction was made possible by the generosity of Tanaka Kyūgu (田中丘隅), the owner of an inn catering to daimyō at the  Kawasaki Juku. The 1,000+ year-old gingko tree in the grounds was damaged in the fire bombing but has slowly been recovering. In 1986 a ring featuring bronze statues of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac cast by Kawamura Osamu (川村易) was built around it with a small shrine dedicated to the dragon god at its centre.
