Goddess of God, Princess Toyoda, Emperor Ojin Originally a village shrine, it is a local god of Shimotakaoka, Kamitakaoka, Nishikaba, and Okuyama, and is known as Shijo Hachimangu or Takaoka Hachimangu. It is said to be one of the 14 Engi-style Sanuki companies. "A long time ago, the sea god Himekai's Toyoda Himemei came to Katamoto, a turtle, and gave birth to Ugayafukiaezu. That's why this place is called Urao. Since I arrived at Shijo, I built a shrine here and worshiped the god. " According to "Ojinjiki", when Emperor Shomu, Gyoki Bosatsu came to this place and stayed there, and a god child appeared in a dream. I was told that I built Ojinji Temple and Wanikawa Shrine. " After that, in the 7th year of Engi (907), Hozoin Meihoshi is said to have solicited Takaoka Hachimangu as Ichigo Ichihachiman. After the Onin War, the shrine lost its territory, and the shrine has been declining for a long time. For a while after the death of Sadayoshi in the 3rd year of Tenna (1683), there was a festival by Ojinji Temple. At the time of the abolition of Buddha in the 2nd year of the Meiji era, Amida Nyorai and Kakebotoke were sent to Gansho-ji Temple, and Yakushi Nyorai was sent to Shinko-ji Temple. In addition, since the opening of Oninji Temple, Kakukatsu Takaoka, who was in his thirties, returned to the profession and became a Jingu profession under the name of Shigeru Takaoka. The current main shrine was rebuilt in commemoration of the Emperor Showa's coronation, and Shinkyo was built in 1945. The Bonsho with the year of Meitoku, which we used to have, is now located at Nishiwaji Temple in Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture.
