History

In 1694 CE (Genroku 7), Tokugawa Mitsukuni merged two shrines: Kashima-gu, which had enshrined the deity Take-mikazuchi-no-Kami since 806 CE, and Hachiman-gu, which was invited by Minamoto no Yoriyoshi in 1063 CE. In 1873 CE (Meiji 6), it was renamed to its current name, Kashima Hachiman Jinja. It is currently designated as a Special Shrine of Ibaraki Prefecture.

Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained for 300 yen near the offering box at the worship hall, and parking is available next to the shrine office.
