History

In 713 CE (Daihō 3), Ichikishima Myojin was enshrined on the ancient grounds of the current precincts. In 1430 CE (Kyōroku 3), Nagaoie Motoharu transferred the spirits of the Goshin (Five New Fields Shrines) and established a single shrine, naming it Kawachi Hachiman Daijingu (Kawachi Hachiman Grand Shrine). Although the shrine's fortunes declined following the fall of the Kurokawa clan, lords of Tsuruyama Castle, it is now revered by the villagers as their tutelary deity.
