It was founded in 1888, with the origins of the old battlefield and grave of the deity Akiie Kitabatake. During the enshrinement, Akiie's father, Chikafusa Kitabatake, who was a central figure in the Southern Court, was also enshrined together. On July 22nd, the day of the Hongu Festival, a summer festival, a ceremony will be held to the grave of Prince Akiie Kitabatake in Kitabatake Park. There is also a summer purification ceremony to pray for getting through the summer safely.
