History
This shrine, located on the summit of Mount Katsuragi in Izumi, has long been revered as a spiritual site of Katsuragi Shugendo and as a deity for rainmaking. During the Edo period, successive lords of the Kishiwada Domain frequently performed prayers during years of drought. The five villages at the foot of the mountain serve as the shrine's parishioners, responsible for maintenance and rituals. The Katsuragi Dance, performed to pray for rain and express gratitude for rainfall, was revived in 1955 CE (Shōwa 30) and is currently designated as an Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Osaka Prefecture.
