History
It is said that the shrine was founded in the 53rd year of Emperor Keiko (circa 120 CE) to enshrine the spirit of Yamato Takeru. The shrine is linked to the legend in which Yamato Takeru used the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi (Heavenly Gathering Cloud Sword) to cut down grass and escape a fire; historically, the Kusanagi Sword was enshrined here as a sacred object. In the 12th year of Meiji (1879), it was elevated to the rank of a Prefectural Shrine.
