Susanoo-no-Mikoto

History

Tradition holds that the shrine was founded during the Hoji era (701–703 CE) when Takehayasuzanoo-no-Mikoto was enshrined from Hirominomiya Shrine in Harima Province. The Kii Zoku Fudoki records that the shrine was located within the divine domain of Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine), and that priests from Toyukedaijingu (Toyuke Grand Shrine) performed rituals during the shrine's relocation ceremonies. Historical records and ancient documents were lost due to tsunamis caused by the Ho'ei Earthquake and the Ansei Nankai Earthquake, leaving the shrine's history largely unclear.
