History and things to know
According to shrine tradition, it is said to have been founded as Imado Hachiman in Kōhei 6 (1063) when Minamoto no Yoriyoshi and his son Yoshiie, on their way to Ōshū, invited Iwashimizu Hachiman of Kyoto to be enshrined. It was rebuilt in Kan'ei 13 (1636), in the Edo period, with the help of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and after damage from the earthquake and the air raids, the present shrine building was constructed in Shōwa 46. In Shōwa 12 it jointly enshrined Hakusan Jinja and was renamed Imado Jinja.
