History and things to know
According to the shrine's tradition, Minamoto no Yoriyoshi, on his way to the Former Nine Years' War, saw eight bands of white cloud trailing over this place and prayed for victory; after pacifying Ōshū, in Kōhei 6 (1063), he welcomed a divided spirit from Iwashimizu Hachimangū and built the shrine. His son Yoshiie is also said to have repaired the shrine buildings, and in Shōwa 44 ritual remains from the Yayoi period were found on the former shrine grounds.
