History
Legend states that during the Heian period, specifically in the Kounin era, Kukai (Kobo Daishi) chanted secret esoteric laws in a cave at Shishikutsu-ji Temple, causing a star to fall, which was then enshrined as the sacred object. Since early Edo period times, it has been recorded in Kaibara Ekken's travelogue 'Nanyu Kiko' and has long been known as the deity of Tanabata (the Star Festival). Additionally, it remains one of the rare spiritual sites preserving Iwaso (rock worship) beliefs within the Ikoma mountain range.

What visitors say
The path leading to the shrine buildings situated on the mountainside features many steep stairs and slopes, so visitors should watch their step. Within the precincts, there are several points of interest scattered around, including Toriryu Falls (said to be the landing site of a meteorite), the Orihime Stone, and the Shichisei Mound (Seven Stars Mound). The atmosphere is quiet and solemnly sacred. The shrine also offers beautifully designed Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) and distributes special spiritual talismans.
