History

Founded in 749 CE (Shōtoku 1) as a shrine established by imperial decree of Emperor Kōken, the 46th emperor. Legend has it that when Wake Kiyomaro was fleeing from the pursuers of Dōkyō, a giant wild boar emerged from the shrine grounds and trampled the pursuers, saving him from danger. Due to the boar's heroic act, the shrine has long been revered as a great deity for warding off misfortune.
