Legend holds that Takefurukuma-no-Mikoto enshrined Emperor Ojin. There is also a tradition that Minamoto no Yoshisada invited the kami from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu. The main hall was rebuilt in 1412 by Shirai Tarou Toshikuni, and the worship hall was rebuilt in 1581 by Miki Jitsutsuna. Currently, both the main hall and the worship hall are designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.
