History
The earliest record dates to 806 CE (Dōtō 1), and in 859 CE (Jōgan 1), the shrine was granted a divine rank. Originally situated on the lower western slopes of Mount Unebika, it was moved to the summit during the Tenshō period. In 1940 CE (Shōwa 15), it was relocated to its current location due to expansion works at Kashihara Jingu (Kashihara Grand Shrine). At that time, it was elevated from a village shrine (kyōsha) to a prefectural shrine (kensha).
