History
Legend holds that in 1123 CE, an elderly woman who worshipped the three deities of Kishu Kumano enshrined their spirits on this site, founding the shrine as a branch of Kumano Sangu. Notable figures such as Minamoto no Yoritomo and Date Masamune, lord of the Sendai domain, visited the shrine, contributing to the repair of the buildings and making donations. During the Meiji period, following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, the shrine adopted its current name. In 1940 CE (Showa 15), it was designated as a Prefectural Shrine.
