Description

It is said to have been founded during the Bunmei era (1469-1487). Otori Myojin was enshrined there after a villager had a spiritual dream. In the Edo period, during the Keicho era, when the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, came to the shrine for falconry, a white pheasant flew into the shrine grounds. Iemitsu saw this as a rare and auspicious sign and said, From now on, the shrine should be called Kijimiya, and the shrine was renamed Kijinomiya.
