History
This shrine is enshrined in Ogon-saki, the location believed to be where gold was first extracted in Japan. During the Tenpyo era, the area was known for supplying gold for the gilding of the Great Buddha, and archaeological findings include the remains of a Buddhist hall and roof tiles from the Nara period. In the late Edo period, the scholar Okina Ankai re-examined the site's history as a gold-producing region, leading to the construction of new shrine buildings.
