This shrine is associated with Yamato Takeru no Mikoto, a hero in Japanese mythology, and is one of the three Chichibu shrines. This shrine is said to bring good fortune, prosperity in business, and protection from misfortune, and is particularly known as the "mountain to climb for treasure," and is also highly regarded as an auspicious place for financial luck.

This shrine, the main guardian deity of the Chichibu region, has a long history of over 2,100 years. As one of the three Chichibu shrines, it attracts many believers and has a unique fortune-telling slip called "Mizuuran," which reveals your fortune when dipped in water. Other attractions of the shrine include the magnificent sculptures such as the "Tsunagi no Ryu" (Connecting Dragon) and the "Ogenki Sanzen" (Three Genki Wise Monkeys).

Widely known as one of the Kanto region's leading power spots, it began about 1,900 years ago when the Japanese hero Yamato Takeru no Mikoto prayed for peace in Japan and enshrined the gods. Located in the high altitude area of Mt. Mitsumine at an altitude of 1,102 meters, it is also popular as a dragon hole spot where strong energy flows from the mountains.
