History
Founded in the late Heian period as the Ujigami (clan deity) of the Yoshikawa clan, the shrine later moved through Aki Province and Izumo Province. It was enshrined at its current location during the Edo period when the domain was transferred to Iwakuni. Sarutahiko Kami, previously enshrined at the Shibao area of Mount Iwakuni, was merged into this shrine, and the shrine name was changed to Shibao Hachiman Jingu. It has long been the object of deep devotion from successive domain lords and local residents as the Ujigami of the Iwakuni castle town and a guardian deity of the nation.
