History

According to tradition, the shrine was established during the reign of Emperor Suinin when Chichi-ihiko-no-Mikoto, the first Chichibu Kokushi (provincial governor), enshrined his ancestral deity, Yasunihikihiko-no-Mikoto. During the medieval period, the shrine merged with Myōken faith. In the Edo period, the current shrine buildings were constructed by order of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
