According to shrine tradition, it was founded during the reign of Emperor Ojin. Legend holds that Tamayori-hime-no-Mikoto landed on a yellow boat and began enshrining the water deity. During the Heian period, it was incorporated as a subsidiary shrine of Kamigamo Shrine but regained its independence in 1871 (Meiji 4). It is also renowned as the origin of ema and has long been venerated as a deity for praying for rain.
