Sengen Jinja is said to have originated when Futori-be no Yorozu enshrined Fuji-sha during the reign of Emperor Yōmei.
When it was restored by Kondo Hachiro Kunishige in Jōkyū 3, it was called Shitori Jinja.
Later, in Eiroku 9, Manzawa Tōtōmi-no-kami Kimiyoshi is said to have invited the deity of Tsurugaoka Hachimangū and enshrined it together with the two deities already there.
