History
During the Muromachi period, a branch spirit from Ise Jingu was invited to Yamaguchi at the request of Ouchi Yoshioki. In 1518 CE (Eisho 15), the shrine received imperial permission from Emperor Go-Komatsu. The outer shrine (Geku) was constructed in 1519 CE (Eisho 16), and the inner shrine (Naiku) in 1520 CE (Eisho 17). Later, the shrine received the title 'Takane Daijingū' and an imperial plaque from Ise, eventually becoming known as Yamaguchi Daijingū.
