History
Founded during the Nara period to pray for the protection of Heijo-kyo (the capital) and the prosperity of the people. As a shrine enshrining the clan deities of the Fujiwara family, it developed alongside the rise of the Fujiwara clan. By the early Heian period, official state rituals were conducted here. Its annual festival, the Kasuga Matsuri, is considered one of the Three Imperial Festivals, alongside the Aoi Matsuri and Ishizuchi Matsuri.
