History
Legend states that the shrine was founded during the reign of Emperor Keiko (the 12th emperor). Its origin is said to stem from Yamato Takeru no Mikoto depositing the Kusanagi Sword and the fire-drill gold, which he received at Ise Jingu, onto Mount Miyama. It is listed as the Second Shrine among the Five Shrines of Musashi Province. Formerly a Kanpei Chusha (medium state-sponsored shrine), it is now a Special Listed Shrine under the Association of Shinto Shrines. The name 'Kanzan' is believed to derive from 'kanasuna,' meaning iron sand.
