History
The shrine is said to have been founded during the Daiho period when Taisho built a shrine on Mount Asahi. It was revived in the first year of Ten'ō (781 CE) by Waki Yasumaro and others, who established Shirogane-ji Temple on Mount Atago. During the Meiji era, the separation of Shinto and Buddhism led to the abolition of the temple, and the site became Atago Shrine.
