History
Tradition holds that the shrine was founded around 1190 CE (Kenkyu 1). Its origins trace back to a local chieftain named Yokoi Hyobu, who received a divine revelation while visiting Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine) and brought back a sacred stone from the Miyagawa River to enshrine. During the Edo period, it enjoyed strong devotion from commoners. In 1874 CE (Meiji 7), it merged with the nearby Himeda Shrine and Kitano Shrine to become Tenso Shrine. In 1990, it reverted to its Edo-period name, Shinmeigu.
