History
The shrine is said to have been founded in 816 CE (Kōnin 7). In ancient times, it was revered as Japan's oldest Tenbu shrine and attracted the devotion of common people. During the Nanboku-chō and Muromachi periods, it was venerated as the Sōsha (head shrine) of the South Three Districts of Bi Province. In the late Edo period, it received strong devotion as a shrine honored by the feudal lord. In 1962 CE (Shōwa 37), the current Satsuya (outer sanctuary) was constructed at the foot of the mountain to improve accessibility for worshippers.

What visitors say
Located in a deep mountain area, the shrine grounds open up after climbing the stairs from the torii gate. A cat named Ten-chan resides at the shrine office, where Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) are also distributed. A parking lot is located beside the grounds, making access by car convenient. However, visitors should be mindful of the condition of the water purification facilities due to the mountainous location.
