History and things to know
According to shrine tradition, in the reign of Emperor Ōjin weaving women invited from the land of Kure brought weaving to this area, and the shrine began when the spirit of Kurehatori was enshrined after her death. After it burned during the rebellion of Araki Murashige, Toyotomi Hideyori rebuilt it in Keichō 9 (1604), and the present main hall is described as dating from that time.
