It began with a shrine built on the summit of Mt. Hayachine in 807, and has since become the center of worship for Mt. Hayachine. The building that currently stands in the town's Dake village was built in 1612, and has suffered many fires. Hayachine-Dake Kagura (nationally designated important intangible folk cultural property) has been passed down here as a ritual performing art, and the annual festival is held on August 1st.
