History
Recorded in the 'Izumo Fudoki' (Provincial Records of Izumo) and the 'Engishiki Shinmyocho' (List of Shrines in the Engishiki Codex), it has long been worshipped alongside Izumo Taisha as a grand shrine. In the first year of the Nissho era (941 CE), it was granted the court rank of Junior Third Rank, and in the ninth year of the Jogan era (867 CE), it received the Senior Second Rank. In the fourth year of the Meiji era (1871 CE), it was designated as a Kokhei Chusha (National Shrine of Middle Rank), and in the fifth year of the Taisho era (1916 CE), it was promoted to Kokhei Taisha (National Shrine of Great Rank). To this day, during the succession ceremony of the Guji (High Priest) of Izumo Taisha, sacred treasures are presented from this shrine.
