History

The origins of Iwa Jinja are uncertain. According to the Harima fudoki, it was during the reign of Emperor Seimu or Emperor Kinmei and takes its name from a syllable uttered by Ōkuninushi when he completed building the country. The shrine is listed in the early Heian period Engishiki and was then ichinomiya of the province from the end of the Heian period. Although destroyed periodically by fire, it has been rebuilt with the support of the Imperial Court, the Akamatsu clan and various feudal lords. After the Meiji Restoration, it was listed as a National Shrine, 2nd rank (国幣中社, Kokuhei Chusha) in 1871.[2][3]

The Hitotsuyama Kofun, a Kofun period burial mound is located 400 meters to the southeast of the Iwa Shrine. It is a Hyōgo Prefectural Historic Site.[4]
