History
According to shrine tradition, during the Enryaku era of Emperor Kanmu, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, while campaigning against the Eastern Barbarians, discovered a desolate shrine in the area and constructed a grand shrine to pray for victory in battle. The area is also believed to have been the base of the Ishiki no Kuni no Miyaatsukami (the head official of Ishiki Province) or the location of the provincial government office. During the Edo period, the Naito and Ando families carried out the construction of shrine buildings and the finalization of official documents.
