In 887 Emperor Uda (宇多天皇) fell deathly sick.
Not long after Fujiwara-no-Yoshiko (藤原淑子 838-906), Uda's foster mother, had a vision of the god Sukunahikona (少彦名神). He promised that if Tsubakigamine was worshiped then the emperor would speed to health.Ōtoyo-jinja was hastily erected below Tsubakigamine, & sure enough Emperor Uda recovered.
At a later date Sugawara-no-Michizane & Emperor Ōjin were enshrined, creating a rather odd grouping of deities.
