History
It is said that the shrine originated when the Kira clan's retainer, the Odaiba family, enshrined Hachiman (the war god) as the guardian deity of eastern Setagaya village while constructing Okusawa Castle during the Muromachi period. During the Meiji era, the shrine was renamed Okusawa Shrine after merging with nearby shrines, and in 1909, it merged with Koyasu Inari Shrine. The Great Snake Procession Ritual, which has continued since the mid-Edo period, was designated as an Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Tokyo in 2016.
