History
Minamoto no Yoriyori founded the shrine after seeing auspicious signs at this location while en route to the Former Nine Years' War. Upon his triumphant return following the pacification of the Tohoku region, he enshrined a branch spirit (bunrei) from Ishizuchi Hachimangu in Kyoto. It is one of the Three Great Shrines of Musashi Province and is referred to as 'Omiya of Tama.'

What visitors say
The vast grounds, surrounded by trees, create a serene and solemn atmosphere unlike what one might expect within Tokyo. During Hatsumode (New Year visits) and festivals, the approach is bustling with many food stalls, but visitors should exercise caution when walking due to vehicle traffic. The locations for purchasing Omikuji (fortune slips) and Ofuda (amulets) are separate. The surrounding area is also popular as a walking course.
