History
The shrine was established at the site of Yamato Takeru's camp during the expedition against the Eastern Barbarians in the reign of Emperor Keikō, and was venerated as Dai-gū Shiratori Myōjin, a guardian deity of the region. During the Heian period, the monk Kūkai established a temple here, and there is a tradition that Minamoto no Yoritomo and his son prayed for victory in battle and won by divine power. In the Meiji period, it was designated as a village shrine, and in the Taishō period, it was elevated to the status of a township shrine.
