History
It is said that the shrine originated from a palace built by Susanoo-no-Mikoto after he defeated the Yamata-no-Orochi (Eight-Forked Serpent). It refers to itself as 'Nihon Hatsu no Miya'. During the Tenbun era, Takemikazuchi-no-Mikoto was invited from Suwa in Shinano Province and enshrined together. The shrine adopted its current name in 1889 (Meiji 22).

What visitors say
There is a parking lot right in front of the shrine. The grounds feature impressive stone walls and sacred trees, creating a calm atmosphere that evokes a sense of history. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained via direct writing. The grounds are small-scale, so visitors should watch their step on the stairs. There are also temples in the surrounding area, allowing visitors to feel the history of Shinbutsu-Shugo (the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism).
