History and things to know
According to shrine tradition, the date of its founding is unknown, but because there is an ancient burial mound (kofun) in its grounds, it is regarded as having ancient origins. It is recorded that in Daiei 3 (1523) 丹羽氏清, lord of Hongō Castle, presided over its rites; afterward rites such as yudate, bō-no-te and horse offerings were handed down among the parishioners and called the “Hakusan Horse Festival,” but this festival has now ceased.
