History
The shrine's founding is said to date back to 1048 CE (Eichō 3), when Oyamakui-no-Mikoto was invited to be enshrined. According to legend, a white snake was worshipped as a kami in 1126 CE (Daiji 1). In 1147 CE (Kuan 3), the shrine was relocated to its current site at Minami-Shirokame-dai, where it served as the guardian shrine for twelve villages in the Minami-Shirokame area. During the Edo period, it was granted the highest rank of Shōichi-i and bestowed with the title Shirako Daimyōjin.
