History
The shrine enshrines deities divided from Nikko Tosho-gu (Nikko Grand Shrine). The three enshrined deities have been known since ancient times as Takio Dai Gongen (Great Divine Presence of Takio). In 1528 CE (Daiei 3), three statues—Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha), Bato Kannon (Horse-Head Kannon), and Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon)—attributed to the Kyoto sculptor Fukuda Koen, were added to the worship.
