History
The founding general assembly was established in 1884 (Meiji 17). In 1897 (Meiji 30), the shrine became a Mukasheyas (unranked shrine), and the completion of its establishment was reported in 1900 (Meiji 33). In 1946 (Showa 21), it became the religious corporation Otani-ji Shrine, with Misaki Kishichiro serving as the first Guji (shrine priest). In 1974 (Showa 49), the shrine buildings were reconstructed, and the Kensha-sai (relocation ceremony) and Hōhei-sai (offering ceremony) were conducted.
