History
The shrine's origins date back to 913 CE, when the Kegon sect monk Myoukou, while meditating on Mount Fukuzawa, had a vision of Gyokuten Tenno (Bishamonten) and eight princes. It is said that in 916 CE, Hachioji Gongen was enshrined there. During the Meiji-era separation of Shinto and Buddhism, the enshrined deities were changed from Gyokuten Tenno, who had been syncretized with Susanoo, to the five male and three female deities born from the covenant between Susanoo and Amaterasu.

What visitors say
Located near the summit of Mount Jousan, the approach offers a viewpoint overlooking the city of Hachioji. The path involves significant elevation changes, so hiking gear is recommended. There is a covered rest area within the precincts, and the shrine buildings may occasionally be surrounded by fences due to repair work.
