History
It is unclear when this Kashima Jinja was founded, but it is thought to be coeval with that of Shishibone Mura where it is located. It was known as Gosha-Jinmeisha (五社神明社). “Gosha” means five shrines, and the name reflects the settlement of the area of led by a group of five people with the family name of Ishii (石井), each of whom brought their own local deity with them, which deities were in due course jointly enshrined.
There is another account, related to the Sacred Deer (神鹿, Shinroku) memorialised in the shrine. It tells us, although without giving a date, that when Kanoshima Ōkami (鹿島大神) was passing through what is now Shishibone Mura on his way from Kanoshima-gun in Hitachi Province to Kasuga in Nara the deer accompanying him collapsed from illness. The villagers, seeing a strange coincidence in this, built a mound to commemorate the incident. In 1666 a shrine, which is
