History
Founded in 768 CE during the Nara period to pray for the protection of Heijo-kyo (the capital) and the prosperity of the people, it enshrines the clan deities of the Nakatomi and Fujiwara families. The founding is attributed to Fujiwara no Fuhito, who combined the deities of Kashima Jingu, Katori Jingu, and Hiraoka Shrine, constructing four shrine halls at the foot of Mount Mikasa. The shrine developed alongside the rise of the Fujiwara family, and official state rituals began to be held there in the early Heian period.
