Dedicated to the god Kasuganeko, a minor kami associated with fertility, prosperity, and good fortune, the shrine was originally built during the Nara period (710-794 CE) but has undergone several reconstructions over the centuries. In 1869, it was designated as a national treasure by the Meiji government, recognizing its cultural and historical importance.
