History and things to know
According to shrine tradition, Hachiman Jinja originated when 隆泰, governor of Musashi, enshrined the kami of Iwashimizu Hachimangū in Enchō 2, while Yakumo Jinja was enshrined on the summit of Mount Fukasawa in Engi 16 and was later revered by Hōjō Ujiteru. The shrine relates that after the fall of the castle, the shintai (sacred object), which had been washed away, drifted ashore at Hachiōji Shinmachi and was moved to Hachiman Jinja, and that in Jōō 2 the two shrines were built side by side.
