History
Legend holds that in ancient times, Amanohohi-no-mikoto and Takehirasuki-no-mikoto arrived in this region to administer the eastern provinces and established the worship of Ōnagiatari-no-mikoto, marking the shrine's origin. Later, during the pacification of the eastern provinces, Emperor Yamato Takeru prayed for victory in battle and built a subsidiary shrine enshrining Amanohohi-no-mikoto and Takehirasuki-no-mikoto, which is considered the current main hall. From the medieval period onward, the shrine served as the head shrine of the Oda Estate and received reverence from the warrior class. It also received land donations from Tokugawa Ieyasu.
