On the occasion of transfer of capital to Fukuhara, Taira-no-Kiyomori enshrined Ichikishimahime(ancient goddess of water) in this shrine, as one of seven Benten (goddess of music, wealth, etc.) in Hyogo.
Taira-no-Norimori(Taira-no-Kiyomori’s brother) built his second house here, where Goshirakawahouou(ex-emperor, later monk) was confined.
