History
It is said to have been founded during the reign of Emperor Chūai (the 14th emperor). Its origins are traced to the enshrinement of a sacred sword as a spirit-substitute (gorei-dai), which was received by Prince Oho during the regency of Empress Jingū. In the medieval period, it received reverence from the Minamoto, Asakura, and Oda clans. In particular, Oda Nobunaga was considered a descendant of the shrine's priests, and the shrine served as the clan deity (ujigami) of the Oda family. During the Edo period, it was revered by the Fukui and Ōno domains, and in the late Edo period, it also served as a place of prayer for the Fushimi Imperial House.
