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 that Prince Oshihoko received during the regency of Empress Jingū, which was enshrined as a spirit substitute (goreidai). From the medieval period onward, it received the patronage of the Minamoto, Asakura, and Oda clans. In particular, Oda Nobunaga was considered a descendant of the shrine's priests, and the shrine was regarded as the ancestral deity (ujigami) of the Oda family. During the Edo period, it was patronized by the Fukui and Ono domains, and in the late Edo period, it also served as a place of prayer for the Fushimi Imperial House.
