History
The shrine is said to have been founded in the 7th year of Emperor Suinin's reign. In the 8th year of Tenpyo (736 CE), it is believed that the monk Gyoki enshrined the deity Zao Gongen. From the medieval period onward, it developed as a spiritual center for Shugendo (mountain asceticism), receiving numerous offerings of weapons from the military government and samurai. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism during the Meiji period, it was renamed Musashi Mitake Jinja in Showa 27 (1952 CE).
