History
The shrine is believed to have been founded during the Choho era (999–1003 CE) when Onmyoji Abe no Seimei invited Kumano Daimyojin (Kumano Gongen) to this location. The shrine grounds were originally shaped as a regular pentagon representing the Five Elements, and the mountain name "Gohozan" (Five Directions Mountain) derives from this. The shrine buildings constitute a Gongen-zukuri (Kongen style) structure, consisting of a stone inner sanctuary built in the 8th year of Kansei (1796 CE), a main hall (honden) built in the 12th year of Meiji (1879 CE), and a coin hall (heiden) and worship hall (haiden) built in the 10th year of Taisho (1921 CE).
