History

The shrine's founding is said to date back to the reign of Emperor Kinmei or the 2nd year of Hakuhō (653 CE). In ancient times, it enshrined 'Hakoso-no-Kami' as the master of the mountain. It is also recorded that Yamato Takeru ascended the mountain during his tour of the Kanto region. During the Edo period, it served as the protective shrine for the Obata Domain, and its buildings were constructed by the Oda and Matsudaira clans.

The approach consists of steep stone steps; although handrails are provided, visitors should watch their step. In spring, one can enjoy a tunnel of cherry blossoms. The shrine office offers Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) with names inscribed, as well as special seals.
