History
The year of founding is unknown, but it is believed to date back to the early Muromachi period based on the estimated age of the shrine treasure, the 'Suhari Jar.' It is said that Nitta Yoshitsune visited the shrine in 1333 CE (Genkō 3) to pray for victory in battle. Within the grounds stands the 'Kumatsunagi no Matsu' (Horse-Tying Pine), a pine tree where Yoshitsune is said to have tied his horse.

What visitors say
Located on a small hill, this shrine offers a quiet atmosphere despite being in the city. The main hall features impressive carvings of dragons and lions, with exquisite craftsmanship in every detail. If arriving by train, you must climb a set of stairs, but you can enter the grounds directly from the parking lot. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) are handwritten on the spot.
