History
The shrine is said to have been founded during the reign of Empress Suiko when Takitsuhime-no-Mikoto was enshrined there. It later came under the jurisdiction of Itsukushima Shrine. In 1570 CE (Genki 1), the deity was transferred to Ishiro 2-chome and the shrine was named 'Tanaka Daijinsha (Great Tanaka Shrine)'. In 1740 CE (Bunmei 5), it was moved to its current location on Mount Shiba and renamed 'Otake Shrine'. The main hall (honden), built in 1777 CE (An'ei 6) in the nagare-zukuri (flowing) architectural style, is a complex of shrine buildings that takes advantage of the terrain and is revered as the tutelary deity of Otake.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds are meticulously maintained, allowing for a refreshing and serene worship experience. While you must climb many steps to reach the worship hall (haiden), the effort is rewarded with beautiful shrine buildings and scenic views. The parking lot is located beyond the torii gate, and the expressions of the guardian dogs (komainu) and the sacred tree (shinboku) are distinctive features of the site.
