History
It is said to have been established as an imperial court-ordered shrine in the 16th year of Emperor Suinin's reign, with its location determined by divination on Kurokami Mountain. In the late Heian period, it was recorded as an "Imperial Court Prayer Site." From the Kamakura period onward, it became associated with Kumano faith and was also known as Kurokami Dai-Gongen. During the Sengoku period, it held a high rank, issuing protective amulets (Majirushi) bearing the "Gyuō Hōin" seal, which were used by various military commanders for their vows and oaths.
