History
The exact year of founding is unknown, but it is believed to date back to 1312 CE (Shōwa 1), when the land of Oka was donated to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu during the late Kamakura period. A beam plaque (Munafuda) preserved at the shrine confirms that the main buildings were constructed in 1385 CE (Jitoku 2). The shrine has long been a focus of faith for the people of Oka.
