Although there is no documentary evidence, it is believed that it began as the family shrine for the Ifubuki clan of Kofun period, who were the kuni no miyatsuko of Inaba, and who possessed sacred swords given to them by Emperor Seimu.

According to the Heian period Engishiki, during the reign of the legendary Emperor Nintoku, Takenouchi no Sukune, who was over 360 years old at the time, went missing in Kamekinzan on the hillside of Mt.

In the Muromachi period, the shrine gradually lost its estates and fell into decline.

It was reconstructed in 1633 with the assistance of Ikeda Mitsunaka, the daimyō of Tottori Domain under the Tokugawa shogunate.

The shrine is located a 20-minute walk from Tottori Station on the JR West San'in Main Line.
