History
The date of founding is unknown, but shrine tradition states that Toyooki Irerihiko-no-Mikoto enshrined the spirits of the mountain and the pond. It came to be known as 'Doudou' when it was relocated to the banks of Onuma Pond in 806 CE. During the Edo period, it was devoutly worshipped by figures such as Sakai Shigetada. Tokugawa Ieyasu was co-enshrined there, and it attracted the devotion of the shogunate family and daimyo (feudal lords) from various provinces.

What visitors say
From the shrine buildings situated at the summit, visitors can enjoy views of the Maebashi cityscape and the Haruna area. Cherry blossoms bloom in spring, and the night view is also beautiful. There are two ways to visit: climbing steep stone steps or driving to the summit via the back route. There is a toilet just below the summit, but visitors should be mindful of its maintenance condition.
