History
In ancient times, it was also known as Kamibe Daimyojin or Amanotsu Itsutsu Daimyojin, and the place name Kamibe is said to derive from this shrine. During the Kenmu period, the enshrined deity was transferred to its current location in the middle of Koyo Mountain as the guardian deity of Kamibe Castle. In the Meiji era, the official name was designated as Amabetsu Toyohime Shrine, and it was elevated to a Prefectural Shrine (Kensha) in 1940 (Shōwa 15).

What visitors say
The shrine grounds feature impressive gates and torii, creating a quiet atmosphere. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom beautifully, and the Okumiya (inner shrine) offers a landscape with moss-covered, rustic charm. To visit, you must climb steep stone steps; those with limited stamina can use the remote worship area (Yōhaido) at the base of the stairs. The parking lot is well-maintained but not very large.
