桃の木がたくさんあったため、桃ノ木という地名が付き、現在は町名が変わって桃園町となりましたが、神社の名前は変わらず桃ノ木神社です。
創建や祭神などの詳細は不明の謎の神社です。
Since there were many peach trees, the place was named Momonoki, meaning “Peach Tree” and the name of the town has now changed to Momozono-cho, but the name of the shrine remains the same: Momonoki Shrine.
The details of its founding and deities are unknown.
