Enshrined deities

Sukunabikona-no-Mikoto

History

Legend states that the shrine was founded in 658 CE (Suikei 4). It is believed to have originated from the ancestral worship of the Araha clan, who enshrined Ohikumamimi-no-Mikoto as their founding deity, as well as primitive beliefs regarding Mount Minami as a sacred site. From the medieval to early modern periods, various theories existed regarding the enshrined deities, including Kinuyahime-no-Mikoto and Sukunabiko-no-Mikoto. Since the Meiji period, the established belief has been that the shrine enshrines three deities: Ohikumamimi-no-Mikoto, Sukunabiko-no-Mikoto, and Kinuyahime-no-Mikoto.
