History
Legend states that the shrine was founded in 658 CE (Suikei 4). It is believed to have originated from the ancestral worship of the Araha clan, who enshrined Ohikumamimi-no-Mikoto as their founding deity, as well as primitive beliefs regarding Mount Minami as a sacred site. From the medieval to early modern periods, various theories existed regarding the enshrined deities, including Kinuyahime-no-Mikoto and Sukunabiko-no-Mikoto. Since the Meiji period, the established belief has been that the shrine enshrines three deities: Ohikumamimi-no-Mikoto, Sukunabiko-no-Mikoto, and Kinuyahime-no-Mikoto.
