History
According to shrine tradition, the shrine was founded in 706 CE when relics left behind by Emperor Tenji during a tour were enshrined in a structure called 'Katsuragi Palace.' Later, following the eruption of Mount Kaimon in 874 CE, the shrine relocated the displaced deities from Kaimon Shrine to this site, adopting the name 'Kaimon Shingu Kusa Dai Myojin.' In the Meiji era, it was renamed 'Uzu Shrine' and is currently an independent shrine.
