History
Legend holds that in ancient times, Amenohohi-no-Mikoto and Takehachiharu-no-Mikoto arrived in this area to govern the eastern provinces and enshrined Ōnagiatari-no-Mikoto, marking the shrine's origin. Later, during his campaign to pacify the eastern provinces, Yamato Takeru performed prayers for victory in battle and built a branch shrine to enshrine Amenohohi-no-Mikoto and Takehachiharu-no-Mikoto; this branch shrine is considered the current main hall (honden). From the medieval period onward, the shrine served as the head shrine of the Ota Estate and received reverence from the warrior class, including donations from Tokugawa Ieyasu.
