History
According to legend, the shrine was established on the mountain peak in 751 CE (Tenpyo-Shoho 3) when the governor of Awa Province performed a fire ritual to pray for the end of an epidemic. From the medieval period onward, it was referred to as 'Hifuku Daikongen.' During the Momoyama period, Hoshokawa Takanori recognized the site as a sacred area. In 1872 CE (Meiji 5), it was renamed 'Hifuku Shrine' and classified as a village shrine.
