History
The shrine's origins trace back to Kukai, who enshrined Kariba Myojin, the land deity of Mount Koya, and his mother, Danube Hime Daimyojin, at this location, which serves as the entrance to Mount Koya, under the name Danube Koya Myojin Shrine. Over time, the name changed to Danube Shichisha Daimyojin and then Danube Shrine. In the Meiji era, it became independent from Jisonin, and in 1946, it was renamed to its current name, Danube Kanshufu Shrine.
