History

It is believed that Taira no Masakado, who conquered the Kozuke Province, established a deity of victory in martial and literary pursuits for disaster prevention and directional protection at this location, which was the ghost gate (unlucky direction) of his Nakazawa Castle. In the early modern period, the local tutelary deity was moved elsewhere, and the shrine came to be known as 'Kara Hachiman' (Empty Hachiman). It was revived in 1974 (Showa 49) with the construction of new shrine buildings. Currently, it is revered as the chief guardian deity of Kashiwa City.

What visitors say

A shrine with a solemn and dignified atmosphere, surrounded by a forest. The grounds contain multiple shrine buildings, and Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) and other offerings can be received at the office. The parking lot entrance is narrow and can be difficult to find, so caution is advised, but the shrine is also accessible on foot from the nearest train station.
