History
The shrine was founded in 1051 CE (Eiji 6). Its origins lie in a divine oracle received by Minamoto no Yoriyoshi during his campaign to subdue the bandit Tachibana Sumitora, as well as the fact that the site is where Sumitora was captured. Yoriyoshi, moved by the divine power of the mountain god who delivered the oracle, erected a small shrine and named it "Torikari Sannin" (Tiger-Catching Mountain Deity) to offer thanks.
