History
It is said to have been founded during the reign of Emperor Keiko (approximately 110 CE). Tradition holds that Yamato Takeru enshrined Ōnagiatsumi and Sukiyahikona at Ueno Shinobi no Oka during his eastern expedition. During the Edo period, it was recognized as one of the Seven Tenjin Shrines of the Eastern Capital. The shrine grounds were relocated multiple times due to the expansion of Koyō-ji Temple and other factors, and the shrine was moved to its current location in 1928. Additionally, the attached Hanazono Inari Shrine is said to have been revived in the third year of the Jōō era (1654 CE) by Kōkai, a disciple of Tenkai.
