The shrine was founded by the [[Kamo clan]] in the 8th century, and enshrines the [[kami|god]] Kamotaketsunemi no Mikoto and his daughter Tamayorihime no Mikoto, who is in turn the mother of Kamowakeikazuchi, the chief god of Kamigamo Shrine, having given birth to Kamowakeikazuchi after being impregnated by an arrow that had floated down the [[Kamo River]].
