History
According to tradition, Hachiman Ookami appeared on Mount Ishikio in 918 CE (Shōhei 3) and was enshrined there, or alternatively, a provincial governor enshrined a branch spirit (Bunrei) from Iwashimizu Hachimangu. Major renovations were carried out by Matsudaira Yorishige in 1642 and 1666, establishing the current layout of the shrine grounds. Revered as the tutelary deity of Takamatsu City, traditional festivals such as the city-sponsored matsuri continue to be held today.
