History

Founded in the 27th year of Emperor Keiko's reign as Kanchi Monobe Shrine, it became the guardian shrine of the region. In the medieval period, Takeda Nobumitsu enshrined a deity from Kamakura Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, and the shrine was renamed Kugou Hachimangu, serving as the ancestral shrine of the Kai Genji. Although destroyed by fire during the Sengoku period, it was rebuilt thanks to donations from Tokugawa Ieyasu. It underwent another reconstruction after a fire in 2009 CE (Heisei 21).
