This shrine was built in 1200 by Hojo Masako, the wife of Minamoto no Yoritomo , to enshrine Minamoto no Yoritomo , the first Shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate.
later, the third Shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, Minamoto no Sanetomo , was also enshrined here .
It is said that the shrine came to be called "Shirohata Shrine" because the flag of the Genji clan was a white flag .
It is a branch shrine of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine.
This is " one of the representative family crests of the Genji clan . "
The black-painted shrine building is a distinctive feature.

It is said that when Toyotomi Hideyoshi achieved unification of the countryhe spoke to the statue of Minamotono Yoritomo that was enshrined at Shirohata Shrine at the time
"You and I are the only two who have come from humble beginnings to rule the country.
However, your ancestors wielded great influence in the Kanto region, and if they had raised an army, it would have been easy for them to gain many soldiers and rule the country. However, I came to rule the country from an obscure family, so I am the one who has risen to success."
He is said to have said, "You and I are friends in the world."
