History

The shrine was founded in 794 CE (Enryaku 13) during the relocation of the capital to Heian-kyo, enshrining Kunino-Tokotachinomi-Kami alongside Yachihoko-no-Kami and Oki-nagatame-hime-no-Mikoto. It served as the guardian shrine for Emperor Shirakawa's Toba Detached Palace and later became the protector of the back kimon of the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Revived during the Edo period, it is now widely worshipped as a deity of traffic safety.
