History
The date of founding is ancient and unknown; it serves as the Ujigami of Mabuse Village. It is said that Hachiman was invited as a branch shrine of Masahachimangu around the 8th year of Kenkyu (1197 CE), and rituals such as Yabusame (horseback archery) were once performed. In the 2nd year of Genki (1571 CE), sacred treasures were stolen by bandits, but there is a legend that their boat sank due to a violent storm at sea.
