History
The shrine was originally established during the Tenpyo-Shoho era as a protective deity for the Kokubun-ji temple and as the Ujigami (local guardian deity) of the Ano Shichigo region. It prospered through restoration efforts by Kukai and reverence from provincial governors, though it suffered repeated damage from war and earthquakes before being revived. During the Manji era, the enshrined kami were moved to a sacred site on Iwakawa Mountain, and in the Showa era, the shrine was renamed Kokubun Hachiman-gu.

What visitors say
The grounds are decorated with wind chimes and carp streamers, and there is an impressive Iwasaka (sacred rock altar) behind the main hall. Although the road to the parking lot is relatively narrow, visitors can still access the shrine. There is a wide variety of Goshuin (shrine seals) available, including some distributed only on specific days. Nearby shrines such as Mizu-buse and Harado-jinja also offer a tranquil atmosphere for worship.
