歴史
This shrine belongs to the Sugiyama shrine network that spread throughout the ancient Musashi Province during the early medieval period. The Sugiyama shrines were established to honor Yamato Takeru no Mikoto, the legendary prince who according to mythology traveled through the Kanto region during his eastern campaigns. The specific founding date of this particular shrine in Katabira-cho is not well documented, but it likely follows the pattern of other Sugiyama shrines established during the Heian to Kamakura periods.
