History

The founding date is unknown, but it is considered one of the candidate sites for Sugiyama Shrine recorded in the Engishiki. During the Edo period, it was documented in sources such as the Shinpen Musashi Fudoki as a shrine enshrined in Shimo-Hoshikawa Village. Prior to the Showa era, the shrine grounds were dense forest; however, the base of the hill escaped damage during fires associated with World War II.

What visitors say

Located on a hill within walking distance of Hoshikawa Station, the approach features a long slope. The grounds are rich in trees, and the absence of tall surrounding buildings creates a serene atmosphere typical of a sacred precinct. The temizuya (water purification pavilion) boasts an impressive appearance with a modern Japanese style design. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available in the standard format, provided via direct writing.
