History

Legend holds that in 701 CE (Taiho 1), Saeki Yoriyori was guided by a white eagle to a rock cave, where he received divine orders from Oyama Daijin to establish the mountain. During the period of syncretism between Shinto and Buddhism, it served as the origin of Tateyama ascetic practices and was a site of imperial prayers for Emperor Jito and Emperor Go-Daigo. It was designated a Kenja (prefectural shrine) in 1873 (Meiji 6) and a Kokubei Shasha (minor national shrine) in 1940 (Showa 15). Currently, it is listed as a Hyakka Meiji Shrine under the Association of Shinto Shrines.

What visitors say

The shrine offers a serene space facing Mount Tate directly. The grounds are filled with refreshing air and lined with magnificent cedar trees over 500 years old. It retains its charm even during autumn foliage season or on rainy days. After walking along the approach through the deep forest, visitors reach the worship hall (haiden). Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained at the shrine office, sometimes handwritten.
