History

It is said that the shrine was founded on the site where Emperor Chūai and Empress Jingū bathed at Dōgo Onsen and it is mentioned in Engi shiki. In the fourteenth century the Kōno clan moved the shrine to its present location and it was rebuilt by the Matsudaira clan in the seventeenth century. Isaniwa Jinja was restored in 1970.[1]

Buildings

Isaniwa Jinja is modelled upon Iwashimizu Hachiman-gū in Kyoto Prefecture and constructed in the Hachiman-zukuri style.[2][3]

Treasures

A treasure hall houses a number of swords and suits of armour.[14]
