History

The founding date is unknown, but tradition holds that Minamoto no Yoriyoshi stayed near the shrine in 1051 CE (Eichō 6) while waiting for floodwaters to recede. Since ancient times, it has been revered as the guardian shrine of Oomuro Village under the title of Shōichi-i Takao Daikongen. In 1873 (Meiji 6), it was designated as a village shrine representing 14 neighboring villages, and in 1877 (Meiji 10), its jurisdiction expanded to cover 37 villages.

What visitors say

This shrine is located in the mountains and exudes a solemn atmosphere. The approach includes gravel paths and narrow roads, so caution is required when driving, although parking is available at the upper section. The grounds offer a wide variety of items for sale, including Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps), Omamori (protective amulets), and Okin (rice crackers). Facilities are well-maintained, featuring stone steps leading to the inner sanctuary, Mizu (purification water), and Omikuji (fortune slips).
