History
The founding date is unknown, but it has been a site of worship since ancient times and is recorded in the Engishiki Jinmyocho (Register of Shrine Names). In 1066, a branch spirit (bunrei) of the Hachiman deity and Okuninushi-no-Mikoto was invited from Ishizuchi Hachimangu, the ancestral shrine of the Minamoto clan, and enshrined together.

What visitors say
The approach up the stone steps from the town parking lot offers a rewarding walk with a solemn atmosphere. The shrine grounds are well-maintained, featuring seasonal flowers, stone sculptures, and komainu (lion-dog statues) resembling a parent and child. Reaching the main hall on the hilltop provides a sense of accomplishment. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained at the shrine office, and restrooms are available in the parking area.
