History
Situated at the foot of Kosaka Pass, a difficult section of the ancient official road known as the Higashi-Yama Kaido, the shrine has long been worshipped as a place to pray for travelers' safety. During the reign of Emperor Chouai, Emperor Yamato Takeru was enshrined here. Later, during the reign of Emperor Nintoku, Hoori-no-Mikoto and Takeminakata-no-Kami were jointly enshrined. Legend holds that the Atarashii clan designated this area as a key region and performed rituals for their ancestral spirits.
