History
This shrine stands as a memorial to the Kitabatake clan, whose leader Kitabatake Chikafusa and his son courageously defended their domain during Japan's turbulent period of civil war. With deep reverence from ancient warriors and continued devotion from modern pilgrims, the shrine imparts blessings of victory and good fortune to all who seek divine favor.
