History

The shrine's origins date back to 887 CE (Ninna 3), when Fujiwara no Toshihiko enshrined the deity Sukunahikona no Mikoto on Tsubaki-gamine to pray for Emperor Uda's recovery from illness. During the Kanren era (1017–1028 CE), the shrine was relocated to its current site in Shikagaya, where it has been venerated ever since as the local tutelary deity (Ujinokami) for the surrounding area. It has been rebuilt each time it was destroyed by fires during the Nanboku-cho period and the Onin War.
