History
Traditionally said to have been founded in 940 CE (Tenpyo 3) during the reign of Emperor Kotoku. There are theories that it was enshrined from Hyuga Province before the Nara period, as well as legends about finding a statue of Myoken nearby. It has connections to Minamoto no Yoritomo and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and became its current form as a shrine after the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji period.

What visitors say
The viewing platform beside the shrine grounds offers splendid views, and the sunset is particularly praised. The approach involves a long uphill slope and stairs, so wearing comfortable walking shoes is recommended. Parking is available both inside and outside the precincts, and Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained.
