History
Founded during the Tenpyo era, the shrine has a history linked to Empress Inohi-Ooiratsuhime, the consort of Emperor Keiko (the 12th emperor). When she suffered a difficult labor, the main enshrined deity, Ama-Isazahiko-no-kami, prayed to the ancestral deity for seven days and seven nights for a safe delivery, resulting in the safe birth of twin princes.
