History
It was founded in 1623 CE (Genna 9) by Tenkai as a prototype for the To-shogu (To-sho Grand Shrine). The current shrine buildings were rebuilt in 1634 CE (Kan'ei 11) and are said to have served as the model for the reconstruction of the Nikko To-shogu (Nikko To-sho Grand Shrine) buildings. Following the Order for the Separation of Shinto and Buddhism, it has been a subsidiary shrine of Hie Taisha since 1876.

What visitors say
Located on a high plateau, the shrine grounds offer spectacular views of Lake Biwa and Mount Mizusawa. As the path to the shrine includes steep stairs and slopes, it is convenient to use the parking lot on the cable car station side. By paying the admission fee, visitors can enter the interior of the shrine buildings. Goshuin (the shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) are issued at Yamato Taisha (Yamato Grand Shrine).
