History
The shrine's origins are said to date back to 1334, when it was established by inviting the deity from Tezukayama Hachiman Grand Shrine, the guardian deity of Todaiji Temple. In 1648, when Ueda Suetetsu, the lord of Oka Domain, rebuilt and renovated the shrine, donations from the eighteen villages under the castle town and the ten districts became the origin of the Oka Festival. Although the shrine buildings were destroyed by air raids in 1945, the main hall (honden), worship hall (haiden), and administrative office were restored between 1951 and 1955.
