This Engishiki-designated Grand Shrine is located in Tokushima City and is one of the candidate sites for the 'Ame-Iwato-Wake-Yachihira-Hime Shrine,' which holds the title of Ichinomiya (the most important shrine) of the former Awa Province. The Sugi-o Mountain where the shrine is enshrined is itself considered the sacred object (shintai).
History
The date of founding is unknown, but shrine traditions record details regarding the funeral rites of Amaterasu Omikami (the Sun Goddess). In the 8th year of the Kampo era (841 CE), the shrine was granted the divine rank of Junior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade. By the 2nd year of the Genryaku era (1185 CE), it attained the highest rank of Senior First Rank. During the Edo period, the shrine was revered by the Hosokawa clan. In the 3rd year of the Meiji era (1870 CE), it adopted its current name.
