History

The exact date of its founding is unknown, but it existed during the Heian period. In the 8th year of the Tenpyo era (736 CE), it became associated with Myoken faith due to the influence of Shinto-Buddhist syncretism. In the 4th year of the Genroku era (1691 CE), it was renamed Taka Daijin. During the Edo period, the lord of Noogata Domain revived the Shinko-sai, and traditional events such as the Yamakasa and Hiyowa-odori have been passed down through the generations.
