History

There are various theories regarding its founding. Shrine traditions state it was established in 717 CE (Yoro 1), while other accounts suggest it was founded around 757 CE (Tenpyo Hoji 1) when a branch spirit was enshrined from Keta Taisha in Noto Province. It was recorded in the Engishiki Shinmyocho (Register of Shrine Names in the Engishiki) in 927 CE (Engi 5), becoming a Shikinaisha. Some scholars speculate that due to its proximity to the provincial government office, it gained the title of Kongorai Taisha (Great Shrine of National Importance) backed by political power.
