History

The shrine's origins are said to date back to 902 CE (Engi 2), when a retainer named Kawaguchi Heima Iwami enshrined a deity transferred from Kasuga Taisha (Kasuga Grand Shrine) after a son of Emperor Daigo was exiled. Although the structures collapsed during a violent storm during the Genkō era, they were rebuilt by the Ne family and later reconstructed again by the Toda family in 1700 CE (Genroku 13).
