History
According to shrine tradition, this site was a sacred precinct where Emperor Jimmu enshrined his ancestral deities and the Amatsu-kami (heavenly deities) after his accession, marking the first stage of what would become the Daijosei. It was listed as a Shikinaisha during the Heian period but was relocated to its current site due to a landslide in 1372 CE (Tenpei 3). Until the Meiji era, it was known as Noto-miya.

What visitors say
The lush grounds feature a charming approach lined with stone lanterns, greeted by a torii gate relocated from the Naiku (Inner Shrine) of Ise Jingu. An Oku-in (inner sanctuary) is accessible with just a short climb up the rear hill, offering a compact yet rich experience. Canes are available for loan at the temizuya (water purification pavilion), allowing visitors to worship in a tranquil atmosphere surrounded by nature.
