History
The exact date of its founding is unknown, but it is considered one of the oldest shrines in Japan. It has been revered as a deity of war, and in the medieval period, it was known for performing hunting rituals, making it a site for prayers regarding the protection of hunting and fishing. There is a theory that it was transferred from Awa Province, but many scholars are skeptical of this claim.
