History
Tradition holds that the shrine was founded in 609 CE (Empress Suiko 17). Prior to the Meiji era, it was known as Myōken-sha and was a shrine characterized by the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism. Legend states that it was established on a pine tree where Hoppo-sonsei (the North Star deity) descended to protect the ancestors of the Ōuchi clan.
