History
Tradition holds that the shrine was founded during the reign of Emperor Suinin and has long been revered as the first shrine of Mino Province, earning respect from figures such as Minamoto no Yoritomo. It was destroyed by fire during the Battle of Sekigahara but was rebuilt in 1642 by Tokugawa Iemitsu. In the Meiji era, it was designated as a Nangu Shrine and ranked as a National Shrine of Medium Rank, later being elevated to the rank of National Shrine of High Rank in the Taisho era.
