It is said to have been founded during the Later Heian period when Minamoto no Yoriyoshi enshrined the deity from Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine during his campaigns in Ōshū. During the Edo period, it was cherished as the tutelary shrine of Tsukudo-cho and remains one of the historic shrines within Shinjuku Ward. Despite being in the heart of the city's bustle, its serene grounds bring peace to the hearts of visitors. Through the divine power of Hachiman, the god of war, it fulfills various wishes.
