History
The shrine's origins are said to date back to the era of Emperor Keitai (the 7th emperor), when Ishibe Dairei (a high-ranking official) constructed a sacred altar. It is listed as a shrine in the Engishiki. In 1581 CE (Tensho 9), the main hall was rebuilt by Shibata Ienaga and others under the orders of Oda Nobunaga. In the early modern period, it was also known as Kamagū Shrine. It was elevated to the status of a Prefectural Shrine in 1924 CE (Taisho 13), adopting its current name, Okishi Shrine.
