History
According to shrine tradition, the founding dates back to the Age of the Gods, prior to the establishment of Japan. During the Heian period, Emperor Saga and others visited the shrine. The temporary festival held during the reign of Emperor Enyu is considered the origin of the current Jicho Festival. Until the Edo period, it served as the guardian shrine of Kiyomizu-dera, but became independent following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era.
