According to the legend of this shrine, Toyouke-Ōmikami was originally enshrined that this location before being relocated to the Outer Shrine of the Ise Grand Shrine during the reign of Emperor Yūryaku to offer sacred food to Amaterasu Ōmikami, the Sun Goddess. The shrine was originally called the Manai Jinja (真名井神社), but was renamed in 671 by the 26th generation kannushi to "Kagomiya" or "Kago Jinja" based on the tradition that the god of worship appeared in the snow in a basket. The main kami enshrined was changed to Amenohoakari in 719 by the 27th generation kannushi, but Toyouke-Ōmikami retained as a secondary object of worship.The shrine and its rituals are described in both the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki. The shrine is listed in the Engishiki records from the early Heian period, as a Myōjin Taisha (名神大社) and the ichinomiya of the province. It was located immediately to the west of the site of the Tango provincial capital.[2]
