History
It is said to have been founded during the reign of Emperor Keiko by Yamato Takeru to commemorate the development of the land. From the medieval period onward, it flourished as a base for Shugendo (mountain asceticism). During the Edo period, the worship of wolves as divine messengers became popular as part of the 'Gokenzoku' (divine retinue) faith. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era, the shrine was renamed from Takumo-ji to Mitsumine Shrine.
