Susanoo-no-Mikoto

History

According to tradition, the shrine was founded during the reign of Emperor Chouai (the 14th emperor) when Ibe-no-Omi enshrined the spirit of Susanoo-no-Mikoto at the current site. The sacred sword made during the regency of Empress Jingu served as the shintai (object of worship). From the medieval period onward, it received reverence from the Saito, Asakura, and Oda clans. Oda Nobunaga was considered a descendant of the shrine's priests, making Tsurugi Shrine the ujigami (clan deity) of the Oda family. During the Edo period, it was patronized by the Fukui and Ono domains, and in the late Edo period, it became a prayer site for the Fushimi-no-Miya branch of the Imperial Family.
