History
The founding date is unknown, but it originally served as the tutelary deity of Komachi as 'Shichimen Dai Myojin'. Due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the early Meiji period, the 'I Sanro Shrine' of Honkakuji Temple and the 'Yamawo Dai Gongen' of Hoka-ji Temple were merged into it. In 1874, the shrine buildings from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu's Konomiya were relocated to serve as the current main hall.

What visitors say
This small-scale shrine, featuring dignified shrine buildings, is quietly situated in a residential area within walking distance of the east exit of Kamakura Station. Many pigeons gather in the precincts, and visitors can be seen resting here to escape the noise. Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) can be obtained at the nearby Yakumo Shrine.
