The origin of Takenaka-jinja is unclear, but it seems likely that it was established by Urabe Yoshihiro (卜部良芳).
The Urabe clan, also pivotal in the creation of Yoshida-jinja, were 1 of 3 families in control of Shinto matters for the court.
Currently Takenaka Inari-jinja (竹中稲荷神社) enshrines Uga-no-Mitama (宇賀御魂神), Sarutahiko (猿田毘古大神) and his wife Ame-no-Uzume (天宇受売命).

During its heyday Takenaka-jinja's snaking tunnel of vermillion gates rivaled those found at Fushimi Inari (at this location the shrine gates are a fairly recent addition).
Locals would joke that in the pouring rain it was possible to stay dry on the climb up the mountain as the gates were so numerous and so densely packed together!
