History
The shrine's origins date back to the Nara period, specifically Wado 2 (709 CE), when a kami descended onto Mount Muro. In Hohei 1 (770 CE), the shrine was relocated to the Yamazaki area and named 'Egumi'. During the Genji 1 (1864 CE) year of the Meiji Restoration, it was renamed 'Yamazaki Hachimangu'. The current shrine buildings were reconstructed in Meiji 9 (1876 CE). Revered as the prayer site for the lords of the Tokuyama Domain, traditional rituals such as the 'Honza Shinji' continue to be practiced today.
