History
Founded in 712 CE, the shrine was originally named Noku Inari Shrine. When Minamoto no Yorishige displayed a prayer for the defeat of enemies and received a divine revelation leading to victory, he donated to the shrine, and it came to be known as Yakyu Inari Daimyojin (Great Deity of Yakyu Inari). During the Edo period, it received the patronage of figures such as Matsudaira Yamato-no-kami, and the current Hoden-zukuri style main hall was constructed.
