History
According to shrine tradition, the shrine was founded when Yamato Takeru, who had been sent to pacify the eastern regions during the reign of Emperor Keikō (the 12th emperor), prayed for victory in battle at this location. Upon his return after the pacification, he enshrined the ancestral deities of the nation in gratitude. There is also a theory that the shrine was founded in the first year of Emperor Chūai's reign (the 14th emperor). During the Edo period, it was counted as one of the 'Three Shrines of the Tōkaidō'.
