History
Situated on Mikage Mountain on the western slopes of Mount Hiei, it serves as a satellite shrine of Kamo Uzu (Shimogamo Shrine). It is said to be the place where Kamo Tsukiyomi no Mikoto's daughter, Tata-sudama-hime, gave birth to a deity. The story of the birth of the thunder deity is recorded in a fragment of the Yamashiro Province Fudoki (local gazetteer). Mikage Shrine has existed since the medieval period, and there is a theory that it was the former name of Ono Shrine, though this remains unverified.
