History
The origins of the shrine are unclear, but records state that Ōkuninushi, the Great Deity, enshrined the spirit of Kayanaruhi no Mikoto as a guardian deity of the Imperial Family. In 829 CE (Tenchō 6), the shrine was relocated to the current site on Mount Torikata following a divine oracle. In 2001, due to the construction of the Otake Dam, the shrine received the old main hall from Danugawaue Shrine (Upper Shrine) in Yoshino, which was then relocated to the present location.
