History
According to shrine tradition, the shrine was founded in 801 CE (Enryaku 20) when Sakanoue no Tamuramaru enshrined Susanoo to express gratitude for divine blessings. In 1060 CE (Kouhei 3), the deity was invited and relocated to the current site, with records of festivals dating back to 1061 CE (Kouhei 4). During the Edo period, Gyozan Tenno was co-enshrined, and the shrine was known as 'Gyozan Tenno-sha,' ranking among the Twelve Shrines of Akita. However, during the Meiji era, the separation of Shinto and Buddhism led to the rejection of the worship of Gyozan Tenno.
