History
In the 7th year of Emperor Kōshō's reign (1886 CE), a shrine was constructed by imperial decree to enshrine Hachiman-no-Mikoto, with Yatsumi-no-Kami and Amatsuhiko-no-Mikoto also enshrined together. From the Heian period onward, the shrine received reverence from the imperial court. However, from the Genna era (1615-1624) onward, it was repeatedly destroyed by fires during wars. During the time of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it was revered as the guardian deity of the rear Unkai (the southwest direction, considered inauspicious), and the shrine buildings were restored by Kimura Shigenari. In 1908 CE (Meiji 41), Suwa Shrine from Funao, Hamadera Village was merged into this shrine.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds feature a large camphor tree, providing a calm atmosphere for worship. A fire festival called "Yassai Hossai" is held in December, and an autumn festival takes place in October. The parking lot is located off a narrow path next to the torii gate, but during crowded times, it is advisable to consider using coin parking lots near the station.
