History
It is said that in 812 CE (Konin 3), Adachi Oashi, the uncle of Kukai, constructed the shrine buildings and enshrined the four deities of Kasuga as secondary deities. During the Jogan era, the shrine received court ranks such as Junior Fifth Rank, Upper Grade, and Senior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade, and was recorded as a Shikinaisha in the Engishiki Jinmyocho. In 1219 CE (Kenpu 7), it was granted the highest court rank, reflecting the deep reverence it held within the region.
