History
This shrine was originally built in 860. During the Middle Ages, it was at a strategic location in Mino Province, which led to it being the site of many battles. At the time of the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, the Oda clan used this shrine as their place of prayer. When they were attacked by the forces of Tokugawa Ieyasu, part of the temple was burned to the ground.
