Founded in 860 CE after countless white doves suddenly appeared in mysterious clouds and flew westward, leading locals to build a shrine and name it 'Hatomori' (Dove Forest).
The Shogi-do hall holds a 1.2-meter keyaki-wood shogi piece honoring legendary shogi master Oyama Yasuharu.

The Fujizuka has steep, rocky footing and rope handrails, so take it slowly and wear shoes with good grip.
The shrine is exceptionally accessible with three train stations within 5 minutes walking distance: JR Sendagaya Station, Toei Oedo Line Kokuritsu-Kyogijo Station, and Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line Kita-Sando Station.
Visit in late November to see the sacred ginkgo tree at its peak golden color, which creates a stunning contrast against the shrine's dark wooden buildings. The tree towers prominently over the grounds and is considered the shrine's御神木 (sacred tree).
Beyond the main shrine, explore the peaceful Shinmei-sha sub-shrine surrounded by bamboo where you can quietly pay respects to Amaterasu Omikami.
