History
Yamato Takeru prayed for the cure of an eye disease affecting his subordinate, and the deity Tori Myojin was enshrined at this site where his wish was granted. The completion of the shrine buildings in 806 CE (Dōtō 1) is regarded as the founding year, making it the oldest shrine in Meguro Ward. During the Edo period, it was recognized as one of the 'Nine Shrines of Edo' and continues to be bustling with activity during the Utoru Market in November.
