This shrine was built on the Shiratori Tomb at the peak of Mt. Shiratori, 453 meters above sea level, and is dedicated to Yamato Takeru no Mikoto. According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Keikō, a white bird flew out of the coffin containing the remains of Yamato Takeru, travelling from Ise Province to Yamato, Kawachi and Sanuki, before disappearing at the peak of Mt. Shiratori in Takaya, Aki Province.
