History

It is said that Minamoto no Yoriyoshi visited this site during the Former Nine Years' War to pray for victory. Since then, successive lords of Yamagata Castle have deeply revered the shrine, and it has been cherished by local residents. The current shrine buildings were restored in 1630 CE (Kan'ei 7) by Torii Tadanaga.
