History
According to shrine tradition, the shrine was established in 552 CE (Keimei 13) when a palace was built in a cave on the southern side of Enoshima Island based on a divine proclamation and an imperial decree from Emperor Keimei. In 1873 (Meiji 6), Buddhist practices were abolished, and the site was renamed Enoshima Shrine. Okutsu Palace serves as the former main shrine and enshrines Takirihime-no-mikoto.
