History and things to know
According to the shrine's tradition, in Wadō 3 (710) something like a wooden image was caught in a fisherman's net in the sea at Atami; a boy appeared, named himself Isotakeru no Mikoto and told them to enshrine it in the hollow of a camphor tree, so it was enshrined at Nishiyama. The annual grand festival in July (the Kogashi Matsuri) is said to be held in remembrance of this story.
