History and things to know
According to the official guide, during the Meiji-era Asaka land development, a place for worship from afar (yōhaisho) was set up at Kaiseizan to bring people's hearts together, and the main hall and worship hall were built in Meiji 8. In Meiji 9 permission was granted to receive a divided spirit of the Jingū at Ise, and in September of that year the ceremony of transferring it was held and the shrine took its present name. In Shōwa 50 the main hall was rebuilt with old timber received from the Jingū.
