When Nobunaga Oda conquered Takayasu Castle, the Onchi Shinto priest asked for help from the Onchi Shrine and won the battle against Nobunaga’s army. Nobunaga was so angry that he set the shrine on fire and the main shrine was destroyed. Later, he ordered Yasaka Jinja to be built in Tennou-no-Mori to worship Susanowo-Mikoto and the Jinja was rebuilt.
