History and things to know
According to shrine tradition, at the time of its founding it enshrined the Kasuga kami, but Minamoto no Yoritomo is said to have stopped here to pray for victory during his campaign against Ōshū, after which it came to enshrine Hachiman. The main sanctuary, rebuilt by 今川氏堯 in Kanbun 4 (1664), is still housed inside a protective outer hall.
