History
Recorded in the Kokubun Soja Shimei-chō (Register of Deity Names of the Head Shrine of the Province), it was known as Fukuzan Myōgen-gū from the medieval period through the Meiji era and flourished as a Shugendō training ground. After World War II, the shrine buildings were reconstructed at their current location at the foot of the mountain between 1953 and 1976. In 2000, the Heiden (worship hall) and Haiden (worship hall) were rebuilt.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds are meticulously maintained, creating a serene atmosphere. Access requires navigating a narrow path off the main road, so caution is advised when approaching by car. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom, with many trees planted along the path to the Okumiya (inner shrine). Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seal stamps) are available as pre-written copies inside the main hall, and special seasonal Goshuin may also be offered.
