History
It is said to have been founded in 718 CE (Yōrō 2) or 720 CE (Yōrō 4). In 1585 CE (Tenshō 14), Kanamori Nagachika relocated the shrine to its current site, incorporating the meanings of establishing the castle town and warding off evil from the oni-mon. It is regarded as the oldest shrine in Takayama City and is counted as one of the Higashiyama Sansha (Three Shrines of the Eastern Hills).

What visitors say
The beautiful precincts are highlighted by stone steps, the green of the trees, and the vermilion color of the torii gates. The view of the Takayama cityscape from the approach path and the scenery at dusk are popular. Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) are available as pre-written copies, and the expressions of the komainu (lion-dog statues) are also a distinctive feature.
