The Okumiya (Inner Shrine) is located at the summit of Mount Takato and is one of the Three Shrines of Chichibu. The Ajiwara no Matsu (Evergreen Pine) is believed to grant wishes for successful romance.

History

The shrine's origin is said to date to the 41st year of Emperor Keiko's reign, when Emperor Yamato Takeru ascended the mountain to pay distant respects during his eastern campaign, guided by a giant dog. The mountain was initially called 'Hidariyama' (Fire-Quenching Mountain) because the giant dog extinguished a fire, and later became known as 'Takato-yama' (Treasure Mountain). To ensure protection against fire, the deity Kagutsuchi (Fire-Producing Spirit) was enshrined, and a shrine was built at the foot of the mountain where three deities were enshrined, marking the origin of this shrine.
