History
It is said to have been enshrined in 859 CE (Jogan 1) from Yasaka Shrine in Aitago District, Yamashiro Province. The shrine received reverence from the Oda and Yuki clans. Although the shrine buildings were destroyed by fire during the Tensho period, they were rebuilt during the Bunroku period, and the main hall (honden) was constructed in 1676 CE (Enpō 4). During the Edo period, the shrine was at times placed under the administration of Yakuo-in, a temple of the Tendai sect, and was known as a Tenno Shrine.
