History

It was enshrined in 705 CE (Keiun 3) as the local tutelary deity of the Arakura district in Kai Province. During the major eruption of Mount Fuji in 807 CE (Doto 2), Emperor Heisei bestowed the title 'Sankoku Daiichizan,' an imperial plaque for a large torii gate, gold coins, and a protective mask. The current 'Yoshida Fire Festival' carries a portable shrine (mikoshi) that was originally brought from Shinkara Village.
