It is on a ridge along the boundary between Fujiyama and Hakonegasaki.In 1708, a dispute arose between Fujiyama and Hakonegasaki over which town the shrine belonged to. According to a ruling by the court, its precincts were found to be in Hakonegasaki. Since then, worshipers have come to Hakonegasaki to pray. |
