The date of founding is unknown (pre-historic), making it one of the oldest shrines in Japan with its origins recorded in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. Due to its location on the ancient maritime route connecting the continent and the peninsula, it has long been worshipped as a deity of maritime and traffic safety. Today, under the name Michinushi-no-Mikoto, it gathers devotion as the deity of all roads and land and traffic safety.
