History
During the reign of Emperor Suinin, a divine oracle designated Ijonaogashi as the head priest, leading to the selection of a new sacred site and the shrine's founding. The initial location is believed to have been at the foot of the eastern mountains in Oichi, after which the shrine was relocated to its current site.

What visitors say
Known as the guardian deity of the battleship Yamato, this charming shrine features a long approach path that is nearly the same length as the ship itself. The grounds include an exhibition room with historical materials and models of the battleship, as well as a Soreisha (Ancestral Spirit Shrine) dedicated to the spirits of the fallen, offering visitors a glimpse into history. Since parking is limited, it is recommended to walk to the shrine and enjoy the surrounding rural scenery.
