History
The shrine was established in 1084 CE (Tenki 1) when Minamoto no Yoriyoshi built the Wakamiya (young shrine) of Ishizumi Hachiman-gu by imperial decree from Emperor Go-Reizei. During the Kamakura period, visits by Minamoto no Yoritomo became a regular custom, and in the Muromachi period, it was honored as the second most important shrine in the shogunate's official worship, following Ishizumi Hachiman-gu. In 1584 CE (Tensho 12), the shrine was relocated to its current site in Higashiyama due to the reconstruction of Kyoto ordered by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
