History
It is believed to have been established by the Banrin clan, a branch of the Otabe clan, to enshrine their ancestral deity, though the exact date of founding is unknown. During the Sengoku period, the shrine buildings were burned down by the armies of Oda Nobunaga, but were later rebuilt as a shrine enshrining the local tutelary deity. A survey in 1932 revealed that it is the only shrine in Japan enshrining Michitomo-no-Mikoto, the ancestral deity of the Otabe clan who oversaw military affairs, leading to it being referred to as the 'Western Yasukuni Shrine'.
