History
Kasayama Yashimonoyama is traditionally said to have been a sacred mountain of worship since ancient times. In 687 CE, an Ara-gami (fierce deity) is said to have appeared for En no Gyoja's ascetic practices and was enshrined on Kasayama. The shrine was registered in the Meiji-era shrine registry. In 1999 CE (Heisei 11), Prince Norihito of Takamatsu visited the shrine and planted trees.
