History
It was established in March 1623 CE (Genna 9) by Chihime, the granddaughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the legitimate wife of Toyotomi Hideyori. The shrine was founded to pray for the prosperity of the Honda family and to serve as a guardian deity for the Heavenly Gate of Himeji. Chihime was a devotee of Tenjin (the god of learning), and a wooden statue of Tenjin was enshrined here. In April 2002 CE (Heisei 14), the shrine buildings were newly constructed.

What visitors say
Located on the mid-slope of Otoyama, it is an excellent viewpoint with a clear view of Himeji Castle. There is a statue of an ox in the precincts, which visitors can stroke to receive blessings. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) are issued at the Mizuo Shrine Reverence Hall. The ema (votive plaques) feature a cute design shaped like the Chihime Hagoita (a traditional New Year's paddle), which is a shrine treasure.
