History

Originally known as Harema Shrine, its origins trace back to 724 CE (Shōki 1), when a Shugendō practitioner named Mori-tani established a small shrine on a ridge to the northwest of the village to pray for the successful development of Katsudani Village, enshrining two deities. As the faith of the local residents grew, the shrine came to be venerated as a guardian of parishioner prosperity and agricultural abundance. Around the second year of the Kansei era (1790 CE), the main hall was relocated to a sloping area on the mountain due to an increase in visitors.
