History

Founded in 749 CE (Tenpyo-Shouhou 1) as a shrine established by imperial decree of Emperor Koken, the 46th emperor. Legend has it that when Wake no Kiyomaro fled from the pursuers of Doukyou, a giant boar burst out from the shrine grounds and scattered the pursuers, saving him from danger. From this event, the deity came to be revered as a great god of disaster aversion.
