History and things to know
According to the official guide, it is said to have been founded in 547, in the Kofun period, and was at first called Miwa Jinja. In the Nara period, through the fusion of kami and buddhas, it became Ishiurasan Jikō-in Hase-dera, and in the Edo period it was called Ishiura Sannō and Ishiura Daigongen. At the Meiji separation of kami and buddhas, it is said to have been renamed Ishiura Jinja after the place name.
