History
Tradition holds that it was founded in ancient times. It has long been known as "O-Taga-san," and during the medieval period, it was widely worshipped as "Taka Dai Myojin." During the Kamakura period, it was managed by a council system led by shrine officials who were vassals of the shogunate. In the era of Emperor Go-Daigo, Prince Moriyoshi donated half of the Taka Estate as shrine land. During the Sengoku period, the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism advanced, and the Myo-o-in temple of the Tendai sect was established as a shingunji (a temple attached to a shrine).

What visitors say
The contrast between the vermillion shrine buildings and the white grounds is beautiful, and the vast precincts allow for a calm and serene visit. The scenery leading from the Taikyo Bridge and the main gate to the main hall (honden) is elegant, and Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) are available. While you will need to use a parking lot located at a distance, the shrine is easily accessible from the Omi Railway and highway service areas.
