History
The exact date of founding is unknown, but shrine tradition holds that Toyokiyohiruko-no-mikoto enshrined the spirits of the mountain and the pond. In 806 CE, the shrine was relocated to the southern shore of Ono. It came to be known as 'Odō' (Great Cave) based on the era name of that year (Daidō). During the Edo period, the shrine was rebuilt and maintained by the Sakai family. It came to attract widespread devotion, particularly in the Kanto region, and also enshrines Tokugawa Ieyasu.
