History
Situated at the 'kimon' (demon gate) of Heian-kyo, it is believed that a Dojogami (roadside guardian deity) was enshrined here in the Izumo village of Atago District during the early Heian period. Dojogami have long been worshipped as deities who block out plague spirits and evil entities invading from outside.
