History

The shrine's history began in 877 CE (Genkei 1) when Fujiwara no Asami, the governor of Dewa Province, invited the deity from Ishizumi Hachiman Jingu (Ishizumi Hachiman Grand Shrine) to pray for the subjugation of the Emishi (northern tribes). During the Muromachi period, moats were constructed around the area for irrigation. In the Sengoku and Edo periods, it received donations from Ugamasa Yoshimitsu, the Sakai family, and the Honda family. In 1876 CE (Meiji 9), it was designated as a Prefectural Shrine.
