It was built in 1083.

When Shinra Saburo Yoshimitsu (the younger brother of Minamoto no Yoshiie, also known as Hachiman Taro, and ancestor of Minamoto no Yoritomo) went to war in Oshu, an epidemic was spreading in Kamakura.
that was founded when the god of Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto prefecture was asked to be part of the shrine and enshrined there in order to calm the epidemic .

The shrine was called " Satake Tenno" after it was enshrined with a shrine that worshiped the Satake clan, descendants of Shinra Saburo Yoshimitsu.
Eventually, due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, it came to be called " Yakumo Shrine. "
