History
The shrine was founded to appease the vengeful spirits of individuals who died in resentment due to political strife. Since ancient times, it has been revered as the Ujigami (local guardian deity) of the Kyoto Imperial Palace. During the Onin War, the shrine temporarily relocated to Kitayama. It was moved to its current location during urban redevelopment efforts led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and has been rebuilt several times following repeated fires.
