Back then it was originally called Hibiya Daijingu.
In 1901, a wedding took place at the shrine, being the first Shinto wedding held in an urban area.{{Cite book|last=de-Gaia|first=Susan|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jt91DwAAQBAJ&dq=Tokyo+Daijingu+history&pg=RA1-PA286|title=Encyclopedia of Women in World Religions: Faith and Culture across History [2 volumes]|date=2018-11-16|publisher=ABC-CLIO|isbn=978-1-4408-4850-6|language=en}}{{Rp|286}}
After the Kanto Earthquake, the shrine was moved to Iidabashi in 1928 and renamed to Iidabashi Daijingu. Then after World War 2, the place changed its name to Tokyo Daijingu.
