History
This shrine, as an ancient shrine enshrining Hachiman, gathers the faith of local people. I have memories of playing hide-and-seek among the trees in the precincts when I was a child. It is said to have been founded in the Heian period and has been revered as the guardian deity of the local people for a long time. It is particularly said to have benefits for victory and academic success, attracting many worshipers. It is a shrine with an impressive powerful sacred tree and a quiet precinct.
