History
The founding date is unknown, but it originally enshrined Prince Uji and was named Ima-Hachiman-gu. In the 3rd year of Bunmei (1471 CE), Asakura Hachiman-gu was merged into the shrine. In the 3rd year of Bunkyu (1503 CE), Ouchi Yoshioki rebuilt the shrine buildings. During the late Edo period, the shrine office served as a garrison for the Hachiman Corps.

A highlight is the rare architectural layout where the main hall, worship hall, and tower gate are aligned in a straight line. The approach path features maple trees, and the grounds include stone foxes (komainu) and animal figurines, offering a tranquil atmosphere for worship. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available, and bus stops and temples are located nearby.
