History
It is said to be the site of the Toyoura Palace, where Emperor Chuai stayed while pacifying the Kumaso. The shrine's origins trace back to Empress Jingō enshrining Emperor Chuai at this location. During the reign of Emperor Shōmu, the three main halls were separated, but they were later merged due to a medieval fire, leading to the name 'Imamiya.' The shrine has a history of receiving prayers for military victory from Ashikaga Takauji and the patronage of the Mori clan of Nagato.
