History

The shrine is said to have been founded during the Daiho period (701-704 CE) when Yasu-mizu established a shrine on Mount Asahi. In 781 CE (Tenno 1), it was revived by Waki Yasumaro and others, and Hakuun-ji Temple was established on Mount Atago. During the Meiji era, the temple was abolished due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, and the site became Atago Shrine.
