History

During the Enpō and Genroku eras (1673–1704), the local headman of Mitani transferred the Hachiman deity statue from Koyama Hachiman Shrine to the grounds of the Mitani Shusei Inari Shrine, establishing it as the tutelary deity of the Mitani district. In 1932 (Shōwa 7), it was designated a village shrine. Although the shrine buildings were destroyed by fire during World War II, they were rebuilt in 1957 (Shōwa 32).
