History
Founded by Minamoto no Yoriyoshi during the Conquest of the Northern Land (Zenpen no Ekimata), the site was chosen as an auspicious location where white clouds were observed. In 1063 CE (Kōhei 6), a branch spirit (bunrei) from Iseki-mizu Hachiman-gu (Iseki-mizu Hachiman Grand Shrine) was enshrined. During the Edo period, Tokugawa Ieyasu donated shrine lands, and the shrine buildings were constructed by Seiryō-in, a concubine of Uesugi Katsuie.
