History
Founded in the late Heian period, the shrine is said to have received a branch spirit (bunrei) from Ise Chisui Hachiman Grand Shrine after Minamoto no Yoriyoshi and his son Yoshitomo prayed for victory before departing for the Conquest of the Northern Barbarians (Zenkyu no Ekisou) and enshrined it upon their return. It received the patronage of Jitsukuni Kodama, a chieftain of the Kodama Party among the Musashi Seven Clans, and was revered by successive castle lords of Kiioka Castle.
