History and things to know

According to shrine tradition, although the time of its founding is not certain, there was a sacred rock enclosure (iwasaka) on the hilltop from long ago, and by the time of Emperor Kōtoku there was already a shrine on the hill. The shrine buildings are said to have been moved in Ten'ei 2 (1111). In the early Meiji era it became a gōsha (village shrine), and in Heisei 6 a major construction project built a worship hall with two wings.
