History
Legend holds that the shrine originated in the 40th year of Emperor Keikō's reign when Otomari Takehi descended to this locality and enshrined himself. There is also a tradition that Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto (the moon deity) traveled upstream along the Chikuma River and enshrined himself here. During the Daihō era, this land became the 'Mochizuki Pasture,' a facility directly under the control of the imperial court, and was managed by the Mochizuki clan, who descended from the Otomari clan.
