History
The first shrine building was constructed on the summit during the Daido era (806-810 CE). It is said that during the Joroku era (990-995 CE), the deity of Mount Kanpe in Yoshino was invited to be enshrined here. During the period of syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism, it thrived as a Shugendo training ground for the Shingon sect. In the Edo period, it served as a place of prayer for the Sado domain. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era, it was renamed from Ontake Shrine to Kanpe Shrine.
